              Patai = Question

              To ask someone what item you have you would use:

              He aha tenei? = What is this?

              To reply you would use this sentence:

              He ______ tena = That is a __________.

              The blank space would be filled with the name of the item/object that you are identifying.

              When asking what is that object/item that your partner has you would use tena as seen below

              He aha tena?
               = What is that?

              To answer you would swap it by replying using tenei as you can see below. 

              He _______ tenei. =This is a ________.

              Finally, when you want to ask what an item is away from the both of you, you would ask the question below.

              He aha tera?
               = What is that over there?

              To answer you would not use tenei and tena as you dont possess this so you would use Tera as below.

              He _______ tera. = That over there is a __________.
