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

Mum moved us to ozzy when i was 12. Im 36 now. Dont remember much te reo at all. Im teaching my son everything i can remember. Its not a lot but its all i got. I am teaching him the "maori alphabet". Its teaching him pronunciations.
Ka pai e hoa!
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!
Thanks for your input :)
Kiaora mate i dont speak maori but i really want to learn it seems you have a passion for the reo.
I will also learn it.
Thanks mate.
It was you that inspired me.
Ka pai e hoa keep at it. I have a course coming out soon, keep an eye on the channel
OMG. . I'm finally getting the hang of it due to your simplicity of teaching.
Tena Koe e hoa, ka pai tõ mahi.
Glad it helps Isabelle! Thanks for commenting 👍👍
I’m always speaking the reo just little phrases that I know, or singing waiata to my moko’ she’s loves it! Thankful for this page! Now I can learn more and korero Māori to her so she learns as well’ she’s only 9 months, but teaching them young aye! 🤗
Im having difficulty speaking it but can understand most words in te reo! Im so happy i found this channel and its actually easier to learn now then in school
Kia ora 😁
I just started studying te reo maori and was struggling to understand this incl./exclusive concept but you made it soooo clear for me. Thank you so much!!
My pleasure e hoa 🙌🙌

Thank you for uploading these videos--despite my mum knowing it and having been fluent when she was younger, she never taught it to me. I'm 22 now, but better late than never to, as you say, revitalize Te Reo Māori!
Kia kaha e hoa!

Awesome! Thank you!
thank you so much!
+Layna Aukuso no worries...hope it helped 😁
Kia Ora , important lesson
🙏🙏🙏
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??
Ka pai e hoa keep it up!

Your accent is Aussie as until you start talking in Maori 😁 Same as me
🤙Kia ora! Get that heaps ay!!!
@@grantwhitbourne I thought so too. Did you live in OZ for a long time or...?
Kia ora, this is a fab video as I begin extending my knowledge of Te Reo. Is there anyway I can get a copy of the table you used in this video so I can practice..tried to take a photo from my phone but was blurry eek
Sounds like you have that ozz acent🤔 good on you for teaching te reo here 💯
Yes born and bred in aus
The singular ahau = aku koe = kau ia = dia are very similar to the Malay language. But I lost it when it comes to the dual and the plural 😂..Anyway Ive subscribed for more!
Thankyou
My pleasure
Kia ora Grant, I have just discovered your videos, seen 3 and am impressed. Is there a way I can view them chronologically?
The first one I watched was published yesterday, so it seems I'm going backwards.
Hei konā
Kia ora Sue - you can sort the videos by order of date :-)
I've been working on learning these for a while now but this was very helpful, my pronunciation needs a lot of work too 😅
Ka pai kia kaha
Tena koe Grant....far out finally found a channel that has made me understand the pronouns way better. I have been struggling with these pronouns for a while, just couldn't grasp them until now, the penny has finally dropped LOL... thank you so much
Ka pai kia ora
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!
Kei te ako au i te reo Māori
kia ora e hoa, would you have any videos on how to do a kaimihi (mihi) to someone. Acknowledging the person who has done the karakia as well as other people in the room? Nga mihi.
Not a video but a nice one might be - nga mihi ki a koe mo tou karakia
Kia ora Grant, another great video! Can I download your table please?
Probably have to pause and take a screen shot 😊
used my phone to take a photo :) tēnā rawa atu koe
Kia ora mātua
Kia ora e hoa!
Tena koe :)
Kia ora 😁
cool tumeke kia ora !
Kia ora Tamika 🙏
Beautiful do you know Ariki-nui Kawenata?
E kao
Interesting, New Zealand Sign Language has a similar set of pronouns like Maori that do not occur in English. Ka pai !
🙏🙏
Tena koe mātua.
Tumeke ehoa!!
Tino pai to mahi i kaiako nga rangatira o te ao nei
Kia ora e hoa
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
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.
Tena koe Grant
Gary Martin kia ora
What are the pronounces for a non binairy person ?
Ia
hokomaha = supermkt and whutuporo (footy) Ka pai ehoa.
Ka pai, kia ora
Tena koe Grant,
Ngā mihi ki a koe
I love how those singular pronounces are almost similar to malay. Ahau is aku in malay, koe (which is the same as javanese) is kau, while ia is dia
I've heard this before, very interesting!
Starting In Te Reo Māori i actually try to learn māori just because it shares the same origin as malay 😂 it's difficult tho, because the sentence structure is very different from us
They're quite closely related.
Tēnā e hoa
🤙🤙
I have trouble pronouncing 'paraoa'
pa-ra-o-a
Tena koe
Kia ora 🙏
He mahi nui taku hoa
U got this e koro
Kia ora Ka Pai to ra Ngamihi Kia koe
