#99: Give me those!
hōmai and hōatu
Commands without e or the passive — Homai! Whakarongo!
In Māori, hōmai means “give to me” and hōatu means “give away from me to someone else.” They function like command forms and follow similar rules to passive imperatives, so i is not used before the object (e.g., Hōmai te waea ki a au). Quantities can be added using kia. These forms are commonly used for requests and instructions.
