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
