Quantifiers Exercises For Maori Grammar

Grammar exercises helping in enhancing language skills

In Maori grammar, quantifiers play a significant role. They are words or phrases used to state the quantity or amount of something without specifying the exact number. Examples of quantifiers include “all” (katoa), “some” (ētahi), and “many” (maha). These words help in conveying the ‘degree’ or ‘quantity’ of the noun they are referring to, making the context clearer to the listener or reader.
