How do you say For my sister in Maori?

There are a few ways to say "For my sister" in Māori, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* Mō taku tuahine - This is the most formal way to say it. "Mō" means "for", "taku" means "my", and "tuahine" means "sister".

Informal:

* Mō te tuahine - This is a less formal way to say it, omitting the possessive "taku" and emphasizing "sister" instead.

* Mō tōku tuahine - This is another informal option, using the possessive "tōku" instead of "taku".

Other options:

* Mō toku whānau - This translates to "for my family", which could be used if you're addressing a gift or something similar meant for your whole family, including your sister.

The best way to choose which phrase to use depends on the situation and your relationship with the person you are speaking to.
