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!

Na Aidan
