Pronouns Pukapuka | Te Reo 4 Life

Learn every pronoun in te reo Māori in one friendly, illustrated pukapuka.

In English, “we” can mean many different groups. In te reo Māori, every pronoun tells you two things at once: how many people there are, and who is included. This pukapuka makes that simple, with a one-page pronoun map that shows how all eleven pronouns fit together.

Inside you’ll find:

• How pronouns work: a clear introduction and the pronoun map

• A pronunciation guide: vowels, macrons, wh and ng

• Six chapters: au and koe, ia, tāua and tātou, māua and mātou, kōrua and koutou, rāua and rātou

• Pronoun cards: what each one means, how to say it, and a tip for using it

• Everyday sentences at three levels (Ngāwari, Wawaenga and Whatutoto), each with a sound-it-out guide and English translation

• Practice: fill-in-the-gaps exercises in every chapter, plus a final practice chapter with all the pronouns together

• Answers for every exercise

This book is for tamariki, whānau and adult learners starting their te reo journey, and it works at home, in the classroom, or alongside the Te Reo 4 Life YouTube channel.
