Kupu Mahi Poro

He rerekētanga ki ngā kupu mahi whiti, kotahi noa te kaiwhakauru o te kupu mahi poro, ā, kāore e whakawhiti mai i tētahi kaiwhakauru ki tētahi atu.

Hei tauira:

Kei te moe au.
I am sleeping.

Kei te haere au.
I am going.

Kua oti ēnei rerenga kōrero. Kei te pai mehemea kāore he aronga hei whakawhitinga mō te mahi. He pai noa te kaiwhakauru kotahi mō tēnei mahi.

Kei te tauira e whai ake nei, ehara te toa i te kaiwhiwhi o te kupu mahi (kāore e pāngia te toa e taku haerenga ki reira); engari, he kōrero mō te wāhi e haere ana au. He kupu mahi poro a 'haere'.

Kei te haere au ki te toa.
I am going to the shop.

Kāore he hāngū o ngā kupu mahi poro i te nuinga o te wā.

Mō te whakahau, he ngoi te āhua o te kupu mahi poro.
