Interrogative adjectives in Maori grammar are used to ask questions about someone or something. These adjectives generally start with ‘hea’, ‘tehea’, ‘pehea’ and ‘whea’, which roughly translates to “which”, “what” and “where” respectively.

They’re generally positioned before nouns and can create open-ended questions to initiate interactive conversations in the Maori language.
