Pronouns
A pronoun is a word we use for a person instead of using their name.
Here are some examples of pronouns in English: I, me, he, him, she, her, they, them, we etc.
In Māori we use the same pronoun for male and female when referring to him or her / he or she (ia).
We also specify which 'we' we are talking about; whether it includes the listener or not - inclusive (of listener) or - exclusive (of listener).
For example; māua = we (2 people) exclusive of listener tāua = we (2 people) inclusive of listener.
