Demonstrative pronouns Exercises For Maori Grammar

Demonstrative pronouns in Maori grammar play an important role. Demonstrative pronouns are words that replace nouns referring to places, things or people and indicate how near or far they are from the speaker. In Maori, there are three main demonstrative pronouns: tenei (this – near the speaker), tena (that – near the person addressed), tena (that – distant from the speaker and person addressed). Learning them is essential to communicate effectively in Maori.
