Today in Te Reo Maori we learnt about the difference between the word ‘taku’ and the word ‘toku’.
‘Toku’ is used for people or things that have authority, control or influence over the possessor, also for parts of things, feelings and abstractions or qualities while the word ‘taku’ is used for people or things over which the possessor has or had authority, control or influence.
Firstly, we copied down the things that went in to the Toku and Taku categories and put them on a slideshow with pictures relating to the things.
Here is my slideshow:
Afterwards we did a work sheet where we had to translate kupu and then put them into either the ‘taku’ or ‘toku’ category. I got one wrong which was the word ‘moenga’ which I mistranslated and put into the wrong category. I put it in the ‘taku’ category when it was meant to be in the ‘toku’ category.
Thanks for reading.
