    -------------------------------------------------------------
    PRONOUNS
    There have been a few questions pop up in the group about how to talk about more than one person. In this lesson we're going to look at the various pronouns we can use to talk about different people.
    Essentially, any thing you've learnt here that has had "ahau - me" "koe - you" "ia - him/her" can have these words replaced by the following words in this lesson....here we go!
    HOW TO READ THE PICTURE:
    Green person - you (the speaker)
    Blue person - the person you're speaking too (the listener)
    Orange person - someone else not directly being spoken to
    Red circle - which group of people the word refers too.
    Tātou - you + listener + at least 1 more person
    *Us, all of us*
    Mātou - you + 2 or more people with you (excludes the listener)
    *Us, all of us, but not you*
    Koutou - the listener + 2 or more people with the listener (excludes you, the speaker)
    *You all, but not me*
    Rātou - 3 or more other people, not being spoken to or speaking
    Them all, but not you and I*
    .
    .
    .
    Tāua - you + listener
    *Us, the two of us*
    Māua - you + 1 other person (excludes the listener)
    *Use two, but not you*
    Kōrua - listener + 1 other person (excludes the speaker)
    *You two, but not me*
    Rāua - 2 other people, not being spoken to or speaking
    *Those two, but not you and I*
    .
    .
    .
    Ahau - me
    Koe - you
    Ia - him/her
    .
    .
    .
    EXAMPLE TIME
    Kei hea koutou? Where are you all?
    Kei taku whare mātou - We are at my house
    Kei te aha kōrua? What are you two doing?
    Kei te haere māua ki te kura - We (us two) are going to school
    Me haere mai hoki koe - You should come too
    Ka haere tahi tātou - We will all go together
    Kei te pēhea ia? How is he?
    Kei te pai ia - He is good
    Kei te pēhea tōna māmā? How is his mum?
    Kei te pai ia - She is good
    Kei te pai rāua - They are both good

    Hey man Nga mihi nui, You touched on something in this tutorial that is so important that I had to share, I have a mission/desire to learn Te reo Maori and I have had many attempts (not giving up this time) anyway in this video I believe you touched on the big problem. English speaking people have trouble because they don't even know their own grammar. This is so true, the English teaching system is poor and skips so much important stuff because it is always in such a hurry. Consequently a slow learner like me doesn't get taught useful stuff like grammar structure etc. In order to break into Maori, I learnt a little French, and they do emphasis the importance of Grammar. Funnily enough this has helped and now I am doing better in my Te Reo Maori studies. So please, yes do go on about grammar, sentence structure etc. It really really helps and this bloke from Welly is super grateful. I'll watch them over and over until I get them. Cheers Peter

    From one language trainer to another, great lesson (I also love the visuals at the end explaining the pronouns; I'm not sure I've seen them presented that way yet). I'm here because I love the sound of Māori, especially the "au" diphthong. I love the idea of exclusive and inclusive pronouns; I kind of wish English had them, or German. Greetings from Oregon!

    Great stuff, I'm a slow learner, where Language is concerned but I get the gist of what you mean. That's what counts, with some consistent application I'll get there, it would be great to return to NZ, and be able to speak a few phrases in Maori to my elders, they're regarded highly and have been Knighted by the Queen so I'll look forward to getting my lingo on and surprising them! No doubts you have more examples to go on with as I improve??

    Kia ora Grant, a question: If I want to ask "Kei te aha koe?" is then the right answer: "Kei te ako te reo Māori" ? if I want to say, "I am learning Te Reo Māori" or is the answer "Kei te ako te reo Māori ahau" adding the ahau (me) at the end? thx for the nice explanations in your videos- love 'em!

    I was talking with my mother in law who is from ngati tipa and ngati Haua and she used pewhea instead of pehea and au instead of ahau. Is that just different dialects and me being from hauraki do I use similar dialects or same as yours

    • @clinthunt9051
      @clinthunt9051 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Kia Ora cuzzy, there's an eastern mita (dialect) and western mita with regional variations. Bit of difference in sentence structure for example: How are you?
      Western: E pehea ana koe?
      Eastern: Kei te pehea koe?
      Pewhea is a regional (Waikato) variation of the Western dialect. Both are easily understood. Other examples of regional variations are pronunciation of 'wh' and 'ng' dipthongs.
