How do you say girl in maori?

There's no single word for "girl" in Māori that covers all ages and contexts. Here's a breakdown:

* For a young girl: Kotiro (pronounced ko-tiro) is the most common term.

* For a teenager or young woman: Wahine (pronounced wah-hee-neh) is used. It can also mean "woman" in general.

* For a woman in a specific context: There are other terms depending on the situation, such as kuia (elder woman) or taha wahine (woman's side).

So, the most accurate translation of "girl" in Māori would depend on the specific age and context.
