    Asking Who Someone is?

    To ask "who is" in te reo Māori we use the phrase "Ko wai?"
    Ko wai koe?                    Who are you?                Ko Superman ahau.       I am Superman
    Ko wai ia?                        Who is she?                  Ko Wonder Woman ia.   She is Wonder Woman
