Comparative adverbs Exercises For Maori Grammar


Exercise 1: Fill in the blank with the correct form of the Comparative adverb.


Comparative adverbs in Maori grammar are used to describe the relation between two actions, states, or objects. Like “more”, “less”, “too”, “as”, these comparative adverbs differ significantly in Maori from their English counterparts. They allow us to compare one thing to another, hence the name. Mastery of these comparisons is crucial for achieving fluency in te reo Maori.
