Kei hea tou kainga= where is your house

E noho ana tou kainga ki hea= where is your house

Kei hea koe tou kainga e noho ana= where do you live

E noho ana koe ki hea= where do you live

Depends on which Iwi (Tribe) your from, there are different sayings for the same thing, like for instants:

ngooku=mine, ngeenei=these, ngeetehi= some, is from Ngati Porou which is a tribe=iwi

naaku=mine/for the older, nooku=mine/for the younger, is from Te Whanau-a-Apanui which is also an iwi

and because Ngati Porou and Te Whanau-a-Apanui are both from the East coast side of Aotearoa (New Zealand) which they both pronounce there ooku, eenei, eetehi, eetahi with ng.....

taaku= mine/for the elder, tooku=mine/for the younger, eetehi=some, eenei=these etc is from Mangatangi or the tribes from Tainui

Tainui is a popular tribe for all maori because they go under the meaning or which I may say owns basically everything well suppose to but especial the Waikato river which every Maori tribes, Nations live with, under and represent more. Basically every maori speaks with the pronounceation of tainui but some choose to repreasent their own.
