What is the maori word for direction right?

There isn't a single, direct Maori word for "right" in terms of direction. This is because Maori traditionally navigated using the cardinal directions:

* Tōmua (north)

* Tonga (south)

* Māui (east)

* Tauāwhio (west)

To indicate "right" in a directional sense, you would need to use a phrase that describes the relative position to another point of reference. For example:

* Ki te taha matau (to the right)

* I te taha matau (on the right)

* Tu atu ki te taha matau (stand to the right)

So, depending on the context, you would use these phrases to convey the meaning of "right" in terms of direction.
