However, depending on the context, you could use:
* Tāne: This is the name of the god of the forest and men in Māori mythology. It's often used as a representation of masculinity and strength.
* Tāne-nui-a-rangi: The full name of the god, meaning "great-man-of-the-sky".
* Tangata: This word means "person" but can be used to specifically refer to a male person in some contexts.
Ultimately, the best way to refer to a male in Māori depends on the specific situation and the intended meaning.
