Karanga Part 3

from A Maori Podcast · host Ihira

Kia ora!This is part 3 on the Strong Imperative form. I felt like I struggled a lot to speak on this topicdue to the technical language used from my reference material. Anyways I hope you canat least understand a bit of what I'm trying to say even if I fumble over it.I reference Ray Harlow's book A Maori Reference Grammar. The examples he gives are below:"...for transitive verbs with objects...if the object of a verb is one which would be marked with 'i', then the verb is made passive, and the 'object' loses the 'i', and is in fact the subject:"Whakapaingia nga kai! - Bless the food!Tuhia! - Write(it) - ("Notice that this applies even when the object is only implied (usually expressed by a pronoun such as 'it' or 'them' in English")Kimihia he tikanga - Look for a way.
