What does ta mean in Maori?

"Ta" in Māori doesn't have a standalone meaning. It's a possessive particle used to indicate possession or belonging.

Here's how it works:

* "Ta" + Noun = "Your" + Noun

For example:

* "Ta whare" = Your house

* "Ta moko" = Your tattoo

* "Ta kai" = Your food

It's similar to the English "your," but it's always attached to the noun.

Note: The usage of "ta" can vary depending on the context and the speaker's relationship with the listener.
