This term we are rotating around the teachers to learn different language structures in Te Reo Māori. One of these rotations is about asking 'what is this'
He aha tēnei?
What is this?
He pene rakau tēnā.
That's a pencil.
The tēnei, tēnā and tērā go in the same place, depending on where the object is in relation to the speakers.
Tēnei - this
Tēnā - that
Tērā - that over there
Watch this video to help!
We have been practicing this at school, have a go at home! If you're looking for names of objects Māori Dictionary is a good place to start!
