tātahi
tātahi - at the beach as a locative — tātahi
Locatives describe position or place, such as roto (inside) and waho (outside). A key rule is that locatives do not take te before them. For example, Kei waho i te whare te kurī (“The dog is outside the house”). Some words like tātahi (“at the beach”) are locatives, so we say kei tātahi ahau, not kei te tātahi.
