Maori Unpacked, 38, Imperatives
38
Imperatives
We MUST file these away in the right place. We'd BETTER...
Kia Ora, be well
Me haere koe, You should go
And then there is the PASSIVE IMPERATIVE
Mahia! Let it be done!
The endings are the same as the Passive endings so the Passive Imperative Box could well go alongside the Passive Box.
And then there are imperatives using E
E tuu! Stand up!
E noho! Sit down!
Again, as with forms of address E is only used with words of two syllables and less.
So we could put Kia, Me, Mahia and E in a series of Boxes one after another.
We could have a circle of Mobiles using these words..
