If I want to ask you where you are and you say that you are at the house, that is a couple of fairly straightforward sentences
Kei hɛ-ª koe?
Kei tɛ wharɛ ahau.
But it gets a bit trickier if we want to ask where the pen is
Kei hɛ-ª tɛ pɛnɛ
And we want to answer it is in the drawer Or under the chair Or on the book Or to the left of the plate Or it's behind the cup
So
Kei hɛ-ª a ngā pɛnɛ?
Where are the pens?
Kei runga ngā pɛnɛ i te pukapuka
The pens are on the book
Kei hɛ-ª te manu?
Kei runga tɛ mªnu i te tuanui o tɛ wharɛ.
The bird is on the roof the house.
Kei hɛ-ª a Hēmi?
Where is Hēmi?
Kei runga te pouaka makariri a Hēmi
Hēmi is on top of the fridge
He's on the fridge?
What's he...
I don't want to know.
I don't want to know.
Kei hɛ-ª tā rātou kurī
Where is their dog?
Kei runga tā rātou kurī I tōku moenga?
What? Their dog is on my bed?
Like... what?
What is it with all these badly behaved animals.
Tibbles! Get off the the table.
Pssst!
