Ngā Tohutohu
Taihoa is used when telling someone not to do something just yet. Taihoa may be used on its own to tell someone to wait before they act or do something. It may also be used in combination with a verb. In this case, e is placed before the verb. As well as meaning to not do something yet, taihoa can also be used to mean or to instruct to do something later.
