In Maori grammar, Prepositions of direction, also known as takirua whakarereke, play a crucial role in indicating direction or movement from one location to another. These include words like “ki” (to), “i” (at), and “mai” (from). They are used much like their English counterparts, but also include subtle nuances unique to the Maori language. Understanding these prepositions can significantly improve one’s understanding and fluency in the Maori language.
