Growing up we had a Tongan ward in our stake called Tala’ofa. Maybe that is what
He said.

Super dumb question: what language is the greeting “Talofa”? I’m assuming it’s Polynesian

I asked the guy who said it. He says he’s Tongan. Maybe Google wouldn’t be so helpful

It’s not a Tongan word. Theirs is Maloeleli.

I've always heard that if it is a Poly word with a "T" it's Tongan.

You’re probably confusing t for ng, ng is always Tongan, never Samoan.

I think that’s Samoan. T’s in Tongan sound more like D’s.
