Common nouns Exercises For Maori Grammar


Exercise 1: Fill in the blanks with the appropriate Māori common noun.


Common nouns in Māori grammar are used to indicate people, places, things, or ideas. They are uncapitalized unless they start a sentence and can be counted or preceded by numerals. These nouns do not refer to specific names of people or places but rather to general items or categories. Understanding the usage of common nouns in Māori grammar is fundamental to being able to converse and write in the language.
