How do you say brother in maori?

The word for "brother" in Māori depends on the context:

* Older brother: Tua

* Younger brother: Teina

If you're not sure about the age difference, or you want to be more general, you can use teina as it's the more common word.

Here's an example:

* "My brother is coming to visit" could be said as:

* "E haere mai ana taku tua ki te toro." (My older brother is coming to visit)

* "E haere mai ana taku teina ki te toro." (My brother is coming to visit)
