HINTS TO BEGINNERS.

Bemember tliat the letíer A in Maorì is pronounced broad almost like Áli ! E is pronounced like Á in hay. or like English E in grey, wliey. I is pronounced like double E (ee) in English, as in ieet, freeze. Now take tlie first of the conversational sentences. A comino]! salutation — Tena koe. Tliat's yon. Look at the aboye direetions, remember the soiiná of your a and your e, and yon will pronounce it so as to sound Tay na koay (or short, quay ) . The secón el — No hea koe ? will sound like No-hay-ah-quay. The third — Nonahea koe i haere mai ai ? will sound in English ears like Nona-hay-ah-koay, ee liah-â-ray, mali-ee, ah ee ? iittered quickly and sharply. This niay appear roundabout ; but look at the sentence, and repeat it quicker eaeli time, and yon will íìrul I liave giyen the literal spelling of the words when sounded properly. Wilh common attention, the beginner will (after a few triáis) read the conversational pirrases welL

THE MAOītl ALPHA 1!ET. A — as in father or water E — as a in pare, or e in whey or grey II — as in liorse I — as ee in féet Ki • i • — as k in lung M — as in niind ÎST — as in noun O — as in pole P — as in paw 11 — as in ran ; or sometimes like d in den, as Alinriri sounds Almreede wlien pronounced quickly T — as in two U — as oo in book W — as in water NG — as in sing A E I O TJ are yowels, tlie rest are consonants. The Diphthongs are ae, ai, ao, au, ei, ou. These are not pronounced (as in Latin or Englisli) as one sv Hable, but eaeli letter is distinetly tliougli quickly sounded.

THE PARTS OP SPEECH. The parts of speeeh are ni ne — The Article, Substantive, Adjective, Pronoun, Yerb, Adverb, Preposition, Interjeetion, and Conjunction.

THE ARTICLE S. Tli ore are two Articles — He and Te, witb the plural nga common to botli. He (pronounced hay) is indefmite, and has the same signifìcation as the Englisli article a or an. Te (tay) is definite, and has the same signifìcation as the English article the.

EXAMPLES. He kaipuke (pronounced Hay kipookay) — Â sliip. Te kaipuke — The sliip. Nga kaipuke — The ships. He kuri — Á dog. Te kuri — The dog. Nga kuri — The dogs. The article he is not, however, aiways restricted to noims of tlie singular nurnber, but is often usecl before nouns plural, as He kai maori — Sweet potatoes He Tamariki — Children,

SUBSTANTIVES. Substantives have two numbers, singular and plural. The plural is formed by prefixing the article nga to the singular, as He ika (pronounced Hay eeka) — A fish. Plural — Nga ika — Pishes. He wai (pronounced Hay wi) — W ater . N ga wai — VY aters. He whao (pronounced hay whow) — A nail. Nga whao — Nails. He kotiro (pronounced hay koteero) — A girl. Nga kotiro — Girls. The relation of nouns to each other, or to other parts of speech, is not designated by inflection but by prepositions or partióles prefixed, as will appear from the folio wing examples : — - EXAMPLES. Singülau . . . Tangata — Man Te tangata — The man 0 te tangata) ^ ala. ö i f Oitheman A te tangata) Ki te tangata — To the man 1 te tangata — The man (obj.)

Ä Hori Hori 0 Hori ) r. P TT . A Hori j Horl Ki a Hori To Hori 1 a Hori Hori (obj.) E Hori O Hori I a Hori ) ta tt • E Hori 1 ^ Horl

GENDEB. The distinction of Hender is generally made by adding tlie word signifying male or female. The words which denote the different sexes are the following, viz. : — ■ Tañe — a male ; Wahine — a female ; applicable to the human species. Tourawhi — a male ; Uwlia — a female ; applicable to the brute species. EXAMPLES. He matua tañe — a fatber He matua wahine — a niotlier He kararehe tourawlii — a male beast He kararehe uwlia — a female beast.

THE ÀDJÈCTIYE. The Adjeetive has neither case ñor numher, and is placed immediately after the noun, as líe rakau roa A long tree He ngaru nui A great wave. He Kanohi roa A olean face. COMPARISON. The comparatiye and superlative degrees are generally ibrmed by partióles or other words affixed. EXAMPLES. He waka nui. A large canoe. Nui atu tenei wake i lera. This canoe is larger than that He waka nui whakaharahara. A very large canoe. Nui rawa atu tenei waka. This canoe is the largest.

PERSONAL PRONOUNS. The Personal Pronouns have three numbers — Singular, Dual, and Plural. Singular. lst Per son Ahau or Au I. 2nd " Koe Thou. 3rd " la He, She, or it. Dual. lst Person J- We two. 2nd (í Kortia Ye two. 3rd " Rana They two. Plural. lst Person { j We. 2nd " Ivoutou Ye. 3rd { Iiatou They. Taua and tatou include the person or persons spoken to ; but mana matón exelude them.

For tlie MI declension of Personal Pronouns see Williams' Dictionary.

THE POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS. There are eleven Possessive Pronouns : — • Taku Mine or my. Ta tana Ta mana f Ta tato-a \ 0ura ' Ta matou ) ïau Thine or tliy. Ta korua ì v Ta koutou | \ounTana His. Ta rana 1 . rr , > 1 iieirs. la ratou j Tli ese are subject to the variations of numher and person. For examples, &c., see Williams' Granimar. The Relative Pronoun is not forined in the nominativo case, but its use is soon reeognised after a little practice.

DEMONSTRATIVB PRONOUNS, The Demonstrative Pronouns are — - Singular . Mural. Tenei This. Enei or Aneí. Tena That (at a little distance). Ena. Tera That (more remote). Era. Tana That (before mentioned). Ana. la That.

The Interrogative Pronouns are three in number, viz. Wai Who. Aha What Ehea" } mich

VERES Are Active, Neuter, and Causative, each of which admits of a passive volee. The " Active Yerb" expresses the action of an agent upori sonie object. The " Passive Yerb" expresses an action clone o y sonie agent, and is formed by adding to the activa one of the following tei minations : — a, ia, tía, liia, kia, ria, na, ína, ngía, &c., according to the fcermínation of the yerb. But if the Passive Yerb is preceded by na, nía, naku, nana, or the partióle me, ít retains the foriii of the active. Also, sonie verbs ha, ve the sanie form in the active and passive voice. The "Neuter Yerb" expresses the qualitv, circumstance, or condition of its subject. Sonie few neuter verbs admit of a passive voice. The " Causative Yerb" is formed by prefìxing " whaka" to neuter verbs, and sometimos to verbs active, as Pono To be true. Whakapono To believe. Whakaponohia To be believed. Mate To be sick. Yy" ha ka mate To make sick. Whakamatea To be made sick

Sonie verlas become frequentative by a reduplication of tlie whole or part of tlie word, sometimes rejeeting the fìrst syllable, as Ko koti To cut. Kotikoti To cut up into many pieces. Korcro To speak. Korerorero To speak frequently.

M o o D. The distinction of mood is expressed by the use oí partieles, and not by an inflexión of the verb. There are fonr moods, viz. : Indicative, Imperative, Subjunctive, and Infinitive.

TENSES. There are sîx tenses, viz. : The Present, Imperfect, Future Imperfect, the Perfect, Pluperfect, and Enture Perfect. The Present is íormed by Ka before the verb, or by E before and ana after it ; although in certain cases either E or ana may be nsed alone. Th| Imperfect ís expressed by E ana, as in the present forni, with a cómbination of words, shewing tliat the action was incomplete at the time referred to. The Enture Imperfect is formed by the partióle Ka or E before the verb, by Ka before the verb and ai after it, and ai alone after the verb. The Present and Enture, when formed by Ka, wiìl generally be distingtdshed by. the sense. The Perfect is formed by the partióle Kua or i before the verb.

The Pluperfeet ís formed by kua before the verb, and is distmgmshed from the perfect by the construction of the sentence. The second Futuro is also expressed by kua being deñried by the construction of the sentence. The Tenses of the Subjunctive Mood are expressed by the help of conjunctions or adverbs. Karanga, to cali. Inclicative mood , Present Tense , E karanga ana àhau I am calling» E karanga ana koe Thou art calling. E karanga ana ia lie is calling, &c* or Ka karanga alian I cali. Ka karanga koe Thou callest, &c. Future Imperfect Tense . Ka karanga aban 1 or V I will cal 1, &e* E karanga alian ) or wiíli a futuro advërb— • Meake au karanga Soon I shall calL Perfect Tense . Kua karanga ah.au I ha ve callee!, &c; o or I karanga alian I callee!, &c, Imperative Mood. Kia karanga au Let him cali. Kia karanga koe Cali thou. Kia karanga ia Let him cali, & c. The Imperative Mood is also expressed without the addition of any partióles, as Tena, horero (lo on, speak,

Somctimes by prefìxing e as in tlie luture. as E tu ra koe Stand up. The Passive form is generally used to ex prcss tlie Impera ti ve mood, & c. PASSIVE VERB. The formation of tlie tenses is tlie same as in tlie active vero, flirts — E karangatia ana ahau I am called. Ka karangatia ahau I shall be called. Kua karangatia ahau I have been called. See tlie Active Verb for tîie formation of tlie otlier tenses. ADVERES. The Adverbs are here given ; but the examples to iilustrate tlieir use wiil be found in Williams' Dictionary. Tliev in elude Adverbs of Afïirmation, N egation, Time, înterrogation, Place, Circumstance, and N umber, as follows : — • Adverbs of A Ae Tes. Ae Koia Aheiha Alina Truly.
