Kia ora e hoa ma!

I speak briefly on how to ask Why questions. Examples from Te Wiremu First Lessons:

He aha a Turi i haere ai ki Taupo? - Why did Turi go to Taupo?

He tiki i tahana tamaiti - To fetch his child.

Na te aha ia i kore ai e tutuki ki Waiapu? - Why did he not reach Waiapu?

Na te waipuke. - Because of the flood.

He aha tahau e kata? - Why are you laughing?

Ko te take tena i kore ai ia e haere. That is the reason why he did not go.

He aha te take i haere ai ia? - Why did he go?
