How do you say sister in maori?

There are two main ways to say "sister" in Māori, depending on the context:

* Tui: This is the most common and general term for "sister". It can be used for any sister, regardless of age or birth order.

* Tuahine: This term is more specific and refers to a younger sister.

Therefore, to be precise:

* Older sister: You would still use Tui.

* Younger sister: You would use Tuahine.

It's worth noting that Māori language is quite complex, and the nuances of these words can vary depending on the region and the speaker's specific dialect.
