Tena koutou!
This one still trips me up so hopefully it is helpful for you all listening!
A Maori Reference Grammar. pg. 214
E pirangi a Hone ki te haere hei mema paremata. - Hone wants to become an MP.
E pirangi a Hone kia potingia hei mema paremata. - Hone wants to be elected MP.
E pirangi a Hone kia haere a Tio hei mema paremata. - Hone wants Tio be become an MP.
The panui that I give is taken from Te Aka but the original came from The Maori Messenger. Te Karere Maori (1855-61) [MM.TKM 3-4/1855:9]
Kaua koe e whakaae kia whai mana i a koe nga tangata whakaare kore, engari, kei nga tangata whakaaro, kei nga tangata e aro tau ana ki to matou reo.
Dont agree to empower those (whom are empowered by your vote) to people that are thoughtless, instead (vote for) people that thoughtful people, (vote for) people that look kindly towards our language.
