Beat me to it.
Yep, mostly it is a definite article, in some instances. 'Te' can also be a relative pronoun or a particle to be used for emphasis.
Hey I've been to Te Anau. And once knew someone from Te Awamutu. Is that what it means in place names? The definite article? Or does it mean something like 'place' or 'village'?Quote:Hey, whatever Dale is using, it ain't a HAL 9000.
No, that was the Commodore Amiga. Best computer ever made. Well, okay not quite as smart as HAL, but it was multitasking in colour with WYSIWYG windows and a mouse when the Apple was monochrome and IBMs were running DOS with just a keyboard. What a pity Commodore was run (into the ground) by Mehdi Ali and Microsoft by Bill Gates, and not the other way round. The best marketer, not the best product, will win every time. Twelve years after its demise I'm still mourning.
