How do you say grandfather in maori?

There are a few ways to say grandfather in Māori, depending on the specific relationship and the gender of the grandfather:

* Tāua (general term for grandfather)

* Koroua (for paternal grandfather)

* Koro (informal and affectionate term for grandfather)

* Tupuna (ancestor, can also be used for grandfather)

The specific word you would use would depend on the context.

For example:

* You might use tāua when speaking formally about a grandfather.

* Koroua would be used when referring to a paternal grandfather, while koro would be used in a more informal setting.

* Tupuna can be used to refer to any ancestor, including a grandfather.

It's important to note that Māori language is dynamic, and the specific terms used can vary depending on the region and dialect.
