Maori Unpacked, 57, How many relative clauses?
57
How many relative clauses have we got?
Lots!
Look;
e...ana
Ka koorero au ki te tangata e tuu ana i toku taha.
e...nei/na/ra
Ka koorero ki te tangata e noho nei i tooku taha
I speak to the person who sits at my side
or i...nei/na/ra
if its in the past
and same with ai
e...ai
i...ai
Then there are the possessives used to create or allow a relative clause
Ka korero au ki te tangata nana nei te kuri ma.
I speak to rhe person with the white dog.
Ka koorero au ki te tangata noona nei te waka roa
I speak to the man with the long car.
