Tēnei, Tēnā, Tērā

 

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!
