What is the meaning of te and also taha in Maori language?

You're very close! It seems you're looking at two similar-sounding words in Māori.

* Te is a definite article, similar to "the" in English. It's used before singular nouns and can also be used before plural nouns to emphasize them.

* Taha means "side" or "aspect." It can also be used to refer to a particular perspective or point of view.

Here are some examples:

* Te whare - The house

* Te tamaiti - The child

* Ngā tamariki - The children (emphasized)

* Te taha o te whenua - The side of the land

* Te taha o te korero - The aspect of the story

Let me know if you have any other Māori words you'd like help understanding!
