However, depending on the context and the relationship, you could use:
* "Aroha" - This word means "love" but can be used as a term of endearment, especially for a romantic partner.
* "E hoa mā" - This literally means "my friend(s)" but is sometimes used as a more casual and playful way to address someone you're close to.
* "Taku/takua" - This means "my" and can be used to add a sense of possessiveness and affection when addressing someone.
It's important to consider the specific context and your relationship with the person when choosing a term of endearment in Māori.
