Kupu Whakapapa - A and O Pronouns

Remember the two different types of pronouns:

       Mine           yours          his/hers

A:    t/āku               tāu              t/āna           

(we have control over - partner, children, food) 

O:          t/ōku              t/ōu              t/ōna            

(same generation or older, transport, house, support body)

Drop the t for two or more objects.
