Kupu o te wiki tuarua: Kaua

Kaua- don't.  Used with "e" before the action

Here are some examples:

Kaua e kai - don't eat
Kaua e waiata- don't sing
Kaua e hoha- don't be silly
Kaua e karanga- don't call out
Kaua e tutu- don't fiddle
Kaua e korero- don't talk

Extension- Kaua e korero pena- don't talk (like) that

Kia kaha i roto i te reo Maori!- Be strong in the Maori Language!

Te Wahanga Tuawhā-Term 4

 

Congratulations on your graduation of Māori 101 and welcome to Māori 101.2.This terms focus will be on simple instructional sentence starters.

 

So here is an encouragement for you

Kupu o te wiki tuatahi:

Me-should

"Me" is used at the beginning of a sentence and is followed by a verb. You don't need to include pronouns such as you etc if it is implied in the conversation.

Here are some examples:
Me haere- (we, you) should go.
Me kōrero-(we) should talk.

Placing a "?" at the end or changing the tone of your voice to imply it is a question automatically changes the sentence into a question.


For example:
Me hui? Should (we) meet?
Me kai? Should (we) eat?

Karawhiua koutou and have a great start to te wahanga whakamutunga (last term).
