I am interested in learning to speak Maori, but I am an absolute beginner, so I need someone patient who expects mistakes! I am a native English speaker. I work full-time as an administrative assistant in a manufacturing company.

    It's a slang phrase that means to give someone a hard time. It's usually said after someone has harassed or annoyed you, and they say "I'm just busting your chops," meaning it's somewhat teasing though it may have a sting of truth.

    It means with his own power, his own strength.

    I think it should read "It is the construction which contributes to the major part of the meaning."

    The correct one is "I just noticed it IS 2 a.m." Using "just" implies current action. Without "just", either sentence could be correct, depending on the context.

    I believe it means that the period of time has ended--such as the end of the school year.
