Kia ora! This week I cover this subtle nuance in Maori, because we dont actually have an exact one to one way that this is expressed in te reo.
Also, I really enjoyed the whakatauki I came across this week - Turuki whakataha!
First Lessons in Maori pg 49-50,
He tangata kua whati nei tona waewae - A man whose leg is broken.
Te wahine i kahakina ra te tamaiti - the woman whose child was carried off.
Te iwi nona te whenua - the people whose the land is.
Te tangata i hoatu nei e ahau ki a ia te pukapuka - the man to whom I gave the book.
Te tangata he patu tahana - whoever has a weapon (the man who has a weapon.)
Nga tangata e matau ana ki te whakairo rakau - whosoever knows how to carve wood (the men that know how to carve wood.)
