If you are learning Te Reo Māori using the Te Ataarangi Method and cusininaire rods, I hope that these flashcards will help you consolidate what you are learning in class.
Lesson 9 – Ngā Kupu Hou – New Words
Please note that my flashcard plugin doesn’t recognize macrons (the tūhoto) so I’ve adopted the old way of doubling the vowel where a macron would normally be present. This just means that you hold that syllable for longer but it doesn’t change the sound of the vowel at all, just the length.

GRAMMAR NOTES:
‘Me’ is used to join sentences and can either mean ‘and’ or ‘with’. You use it between names and nouns but you can’t use it to join verbal phrases.
Me should always be followed by a definite article or a proper noun (te, ngā, tāku, tāona, Mere etc). It should never be followed by other prepositions like ko, ki, kei etc or any verbal marker like i, kei te, kua etc.
Te kōtiro me te kurī.
The horse and the dog.
Kei te pānui a Kororia me Ruth.
Gloria and Ruth are reading.
Haria mai te pukapuka me ngā pene.
Bring the book and the pens.
(NB: use mā as ‘and’ when connecting numbers, tekau mā wha = 14)
