NZE Grammar

Investigating language revision cards

TermDefinition
Pronouns In Māori we use pronouns in a slightly different manner. We use the same pronoun for male and female when referring to him or her/he or she(ia).
Plural and Dual Pronouns We also specify which 'we' we are talking about; whether it includes the listener or not inclusive (of listener) or - exclusive (of listener). For example; maua=we (2 people) exclusive of listener taua=we (2 people) inclusive of listener.
Singular Pronouns We use the same pronoun for male and female when referring to him or her/he or she (ia).
Participle Forms For simple past tense forms, such as rung for rang, seen for saw. come for came, researchers suggest that such usages may be indicative of a change in progress.
Modal Verbs Has been noted that NZE make less use of shall than other varieties, using will instead. On the other hand, 'will' to show future tense is dropping, replaced by 'going to' and the spoken form 'gonna'.
Grammar-Lexis Nexus NZE shows a preference for 'in the weekend'. The word 'different' appears with a selection of pronouns, mainly with 'from, to and than'.
Transitive Verb 'Farewell' is more widely used as a transitive verb in NZE and AusE than in other varieties, especially with the sense of putting on a function to mark someone's departure or retirement; they 'farewelled the professor at a party in the staff club'.
Non-standard second-person 'Yous(or youse)' - probably of irish or Scottish origin. An alternative form is 'you guys'. The case marking of personal pronouns in conjoined phrases is variable.
