Here's a breakdown:
* Te: The definite article, meaning "the"
* tama: Boy
* maohi: Māori
It's important to note that the term "Māori" can refer to both the indigenous people of New Zealand and their language. So, in this context, it's ambiguous whether "Te tama maohi" is referring to a boy who speaks the Māori language or a boy who is of Māori descent.
