TE WHĀRANGI O TE TUMUAKI
Tēnā koutou e hoa mā!
I hope lockdown is treating you well. The idea of this page is for me to say hello regularly, so please check back, and to also provide some ideas for te reo Māori development for your family. This could also be used for other languages you are using. I hope to see you again in person very soon.
CHALLENGE
Translate the photo of the day from my family for the school holidays. Then try your own. I will do a new one a day.
Remember if you want to write your own with your family, students often start with, 'I watched tv' or similar so be happy with three words. Ka (-ed) mātakitaki (watch-) pouaka whakaata (t.v.) ahau (I). Ka mātakitaki pouaka whakaata ahau (I watched TV).
Tips:
- Sentences will usually start with 'time' (I tēnei rā) -this day / today, (I tēnei ata)-this morning
- Then sentences will usually be in two forms. Both are very common for story writing, past tense writing.
- Structure #1: Ka VERB (ACTION) followed by the person or thing that did the action. Following this any more 'change'. I.E. Ka oma ahau ki te tātahi (Ran, me, to the beach) I ran to the beach. Example from post one: ka whakangungutia tā tātou kuri e ahau ki te haere ki roto i te pīrori. (trained, our dog, by me, to go, through the hoop), I trained our dog to go through the hoop.
- Structure #2: Person doing action, person receiving action, subject, action (subject and action can be swapped here). Example from post one: Nāku ia i hoatu ētahi kai hei momoho! (I, him, gave, some food, for treats). I gave him some treats as rewards.
- Description type sentences will also appear. Mitimiti ai te kurī ki ahau (Licks, aways, the dog to me) The dog always licks me.
- Finished by Nā (owned or done by)

I tēnei rā, ka tunu ahau i tētahi keke hei te rā whānau o taku matua kēkē. Ka waea whakaata mātou ki a ia, kātahi ka kai mātou i te keke i mua i a ia. I tino makue te keke.

I tēnei rā, ka hīkoi mātou ki te hāroto, kātahi ka kuhu te kurī i te hāroto i tētahi wāhi anake. Ia wā, ia wā. I a mātou, i hoki ki te kāinga, ka aruarumia te kurī e mātou, nā, ka mataku ia, ka ohorere ia, nā te kēmu.

He paihikara māwhero ātaahua tōku! I haukore te taea muri o taku paihikara nā reira kāore i taea (can't) e ahau te eke paihikara. Ka whakaaturia ahau e taku pāpā i pēhea ki te whakatika te taea. Tuatahi-Pēhea ki te tango te taea. Tuarua-Pēhea ki te panoni te taea. Tuatoru-Pēhea ki te whakahoki te wīra. Ināianei, ka taea (can) e ahau te eke paihikara i roto i te ngahere, panoni tētahi taea haukore hoki.
