Whakahau (me mahi)
Āhua ngoi ngāwari
Haere mai!
Come here!
E noho!
Sit!
E tū!
Stand!
Ka kitea i te nuinga o te wā, ka tū a 'E' i mua i te kupu mahi mehemea e rua ngā kū, iti iho rānei.
Ka whakamahia te āhua ngoi o te kupu mahi mehemea kua whakaritea te aronga, ā, ko te pūtūmua tika ko 'ki', hei tauira:
Whakarongo ki ngā whaea!
Listen to the aunties!
Ka kitea te ōritetanga o tēnei whakahau ki te rerenga kōrero ngoi 'Ka whakarongo koe ki ngā whaea.'
Āhua hāngū
Mō ngā rerenga ngoi, he aronga kei roto, ā, ko tōna tohu he i, ehara ko te ki, me hāngū te whakahau:
Patua te pōro!
Hit the ball!
Ka kitea te ōritetanga o tēnei tohutohu ki te rerenga kōrero hāngū 'Ka patua te pōro e koe' ā, mehemea he rerenga kōrero ngoi ka whakaurua te i: 'Ka patu koe i te pōro.''
He rerekē tēnei i te reo Pākehā - kāore e taea ēnei whakahau te whakapākehā ki te hāngū. Anei ētahi atu tauira.
Horoia ngā kākahu!
Wash the clothes!
Whakakoia te māripi!
Sharpen the knife!
Me - Should
Me haere koe ki te kāinga!
You should go home!
Me whakarongo koe ki tōu whaea!
You should listen to your aunty!
Ka kitea e kore rawa e whakamahia te āhua hāngū o te kupu mahi i muri i a Me ahakoa ko te tikanga o te kupu he hāngū, arā,
Me horoi ngā kākahu [e koe]!
[You] should wash the clothes!
Kia
Kia kaha!
Be strong!
Kia tūpato te tapahi!
Cut carefully!
Ka...tāua, Ka...tātou - Let's
Ka haere tāua ki te toa!
Let's go to the shop! (2 people including the speaker)
Ka waiata tātou.
Let's sing! (3 or more people)
Taihoa - Don't yet, wait
Taihoa e oma!
Don't run yet.
Taihoa e tunu i ngā ika!
Don't cook the fish yet.
Taihoa!
Wait!
Kaua e - Do not
Ka kitea te ōritetanga o ēnei tauira e rua ki ngā āhua ngoi me ngā āhua hāngū kei te tīmatanga o te whārangi nei.
Kaua e whakarongo ki tōu whaea!
Don't listen to your aunty!
Kaua e patua te kurī!
Don't hit the dog!
Kāti - Stop, cease
Kāti te tangi!
Stop crying!
