Where? Kei hea?

What? He aha?

Noo te taenga mai o te kiore.
At the arrival of the rat.

These are whens for the past. If its a when for the future then use aa

Aa te haramai o te tangata.
When the person comes.

Kei hea te koo?
Where is the spade?

I hea te koo?
Where was the spade?

Kei hea te kai?
Where is the food?

I hea te kai?
Where was the food?

another drawer for What? He aha?

He aha teenaa?

He waka
A canoe


Another for Who? Ko wai?

Ko wai teeraa?
Who is that?

Ko Mere teeraa
That is Mere.

And yet another for When, again a drawer with a for future, A hea? Or past, noonahea? or inahea?
Or a Mind Map with little clouds coming off a big question mark in the middle.
Or Mobiles off every corner of the ceiling asking Where? What? Who? And How?
