  • Asking How Many Objects?

    When we want to ask how many objects there are we use the phrase “E hia ngā ……..?” 


    E hia ngā āporo? How many apples?

    E rua ngā āporo. There are two apples

    Note: The question word “hia” is replaced with the answer (two or rua)

    If there is only ONE  we would reply “Kotahi te….”


    Kotahi te āporo

    Asking How Many people?

    When we want to ask how many people there are we use the phrase “Tokohia ngā …...?” 


    Tokohia ngā tamariki? How many children?

    Tokowhā ngā tamriki. There are two children

    However, we only use “toko” for 2-9 people. 

    If there is only ONE  we would reply “Kotahi te……...”

    E.g. Kotahi te tamaiti There is one child.


    For 10 or more people we would just use “E ……...” 

    E.g. E tekau mā iwa tamariki There are 19 children
