    "Welcome to 'Starting In Te Reo Māori' - Your Gateway to Language Revival and Cultural Reconnection! 🌱
    I'm Grant Whitbourne, the founder of this empowering initiative. 'Starting In Te Reo Māori' is more than just a channel; it's a movement dedicated to preserving the enduring legacy of Te Reo Māori, the indigenous language of Aotearoa New Zealand.
    My personal journey, originating from Australia but deeply connected to the Te Whānau-a-Apanui heritage, is at the heart of this channel. I intimately understand the challenges that new learners face when embracing a language pivotal to their culture but often shrouded in confusion
    Through my transformative experience of reconnecting with Te Reo, I found a profound purpose. Now, as a loving parent, I'm on a mission to pass on this invaluable heritage to my children and create a bridge for others to embark on the same journey.📚

    Kia ora, if this hasn't been suggested so far but you can set your keyboard to 'MR Moari (New Zealand)' and then can use the squiggle looking key directly below the Esc Key every time you want to use a macron. Just press and hold then select the letter you want to macron. There should be an EN (for English keyboard) symbol on the bottom task bar over to the right corner. Left click then select 'show the language bar', select drop down box then 'settings', under 'general' you can 'add' another keyboard, apply then close. You can then switch between if you wish. This may have been said, but I'm new to the channel and it's come up in a few videos as I've been watching from the earlier ones first. Nga mihi.

    Thanks Grant, really enjoy you clear explanations I.e. I, ki, kei, hei. My wife and I are 70+ pakehas currently doing a full emersion course. It gets very confusing at times but your explanation of the tricky bits a lot.
    We are also finding the Kupu o te Rā very helpfull.
    When you have time, could you do something on the particle e.

    • @grantwhitbourne

      Kia ora. With tātahi as a general rule you don't need to add te in front of it 😊

    Kia ora Grant! Kātahi ano au ka kite ki tēnei ataata. Kia pai mai hoki tō mahi!
    I have a question that may be related to this video though: How do I go about saying a sentence with more than one locative in a sentence? For example, 'the dog sleeps outside the house on Wednesdays'

    • @grantwhitbourne
      @grantwhitbourne  6 років тому +1

      That is only one locative e hoa
      Ia Wenerei ia Wenerei e moe ana te kurī kei waho i te whare

    Kiaora Grant! Ka pai tōu mahi!
    He patai- why do we have locations with ‘Te’ in front and other locations without. In your example: you say Kei te oma te Tama ki te toa (the boy is running to the store)
    Then, in your second example: I haere ia ki tatahi... no ‘te’ before tatahi even though it’s ‘the’ beach? It’s something I’m really struggling to understand so Im hoping you can help as I continue on my Te Reo journey

    • @grantwhitbourne
      @grantwhitbourne  4 роки тому +3

      Tātahi is very unique and does not have te in front of it (let's call it an exception). .. Generally te is used

  • @Sybren033
    @Sybren033 4 роки тому +1

    This is sooo helpful, but why does toa has "te" before it and tatahi not?

    • @grantwhitbourne
      @grantwhitbourne  3 роки тому +1

      Tatahi is a specific locative word and doesn't require "te" like a normal noun.
      Similar kupu are tae, uta, waenganui

      Tēnā koe e hoa 🙌 thank you for the kind words

  • @kheerhee
    @kheerhee 6 років тому +3

    Is there a rule with using te? As in it’s used in “Kei te oma te tama ki TE toa” but not in “I haere ia ki tatahi”.

    • @kalinsapotato
      @kalinsapotato 6 років тому +1

      Hey I think it's because tātahi is ā general location. We'd say the beach in English, but in Māori it wouldn't really be specified as it's kind of just where the land meets the water and not just a really specified location like a particular section of the seaside as we might think of it in English.

    • @grantwhitbourne
      @grantwhitbourne  3 роки тому

      Kia ora - I've just found all my comments I haven't replied to, hence the late reply!
      Kalin is correct. Tātahi is a specific location (like runga, raro, waho etc)

    • @grantwhitbourne
      @grantwhitbourne  5 років тому +1

      Similar... Ka is used as simple active sentence tense. Hei is a bit more diverse (time/location)

  • @jacksonarmstrong7549

    I te whare o āku matau ahau? I was at my parent's house. (Is this correct?)
    Hei/Ka Whare Pukapuka rāua - they will be at the library.
    Kei te haere rāua ki te whare pukapuka - they're going to the library

    Hei te oma te ki tohi i'ka
    The boy will run to the dog park.

    • @grantwhitbourne
      @grantwhitbourne  6 років тому

      Not quite right.
      Ka oma te tama ki te pākā kurī
      The boy will run to the dog park
      Hei te pākā kurī te tama āpōpō
      The boy will be at the park tomorrow
      The first example (and your original comment) refer to an action... The lesson is for talking about location specifically 😊
      Piki tonu
