Ka rangona tonutia te reo Māori i ēnei rā
Using modifying words after passives
In Module 7 you learnt that manner particles like kē, rawa, tonu, noa should have a passive ending when they follow words that have passive endings, like the above example.
Rangona is the passive form of the word ‘rongo’ which means ‘to hear’. Therefore, the word tonu, then has the passive ending added to make it ‘tonutia’.
Revision module – see Exercise 6, module 7 to help with revision.
