Some of the typical words that we can find here in New Zealand are "How is going?", when you greet someone; "choice", that means "very good"; "skus", that means "too cold"; "as good as gold", used for a positive answer; "chemist", the drugstore, and many others words and phrases we can hear in our trip. Some other words that comes from the British English: Barber's, Dentist's and grocer's.

Also is very typical to hear a variation in the pronunciation. They pronounce the sound /e/ as /i/. For example, when they say 'bed' they pronounce it as 'bid'. Moreover, instead of pronounce 'red' the say 'rid'.

Besides, New Zealand has 3 official languages: Maori, English and Signs language. 
In add to Maori speaking, they are some typical words that New Zealanders use very much, such as "Kia ora", that means "hello"; "Aotearoa", that it means " the long white cloud", that refers to the New Zealand country.
