The indefinite article

I keep thinking about the lunch I just had!

I'll try not to think about eating food but just about unpacking it.

kai, food

te kai, the food. Singular

nga kai, the foods, plural

he, a, some

he is the indefinite article

he kai. some food

he kai kawa, some sour food

he kai reka, some sweet food

So we could put the indefinite article he in a box and clip it to the Noun Box alongside te and nga the definite articles.

And now for that detective work!
Where is my fingerprint powder and my magnifying glass and my Sherlock Holmes hat?

If we made a mobile we might put it over the sugar so that when people made a cup of tea for guests they might be reminded to ask,

he huka? some sugar?

he miraka? some milk?
