2a Homai, Tangohia, Waihotia, Whakahokia

Homai = Give me
Tangohia = Take
Whakahokia = Return
Waihotia = Leave

By replacing the Ko in the "Ko te / ko nga" structure with one of the words above, we can make sentences like this:

The red stick = Ko te rakau kura

Leave the red stick = Waihotia te rakau kura

Return the blue cup = Whakahokia te ipu kahurangi

Take the white chair = Tangohia te nohoanga tea

Give me the big cat = Homai te ngeru nui

Translate the following sentences. Remember the difference between the te and nga.
