Kia Lee mō tōu whakaaro

Engari kaore he kupu Merica kei roto i te reo Māori. 
Ko te kupa māori mō America, he Amerika

Ko ngā kupu mō United States of America, Te Honongoa o Amerika

Hi Lee, thanks for the thought

But there is no c in the māori language, the word for America
(generic) is Amerika, for the USA it is Te Honongoa o Amerika 

For South America = Amerika ki te tonga (America to the south)

Here ends a little te reo Māori lesson :)

Naku noa
Nā Chris
