tūingoa, tūmahi whiti

Ko te whakakino i tētahi mea mā te whakaurunga atu, mā te whakapānga atu rānei o tētahi atu matū.

To make something impure by the introduction of, or contact with another substance.

Tohua mai ngā mea kei roto i tēnei rūma ka tāhawahawa i te oneone mēnā ka tanua.

He aha ngā mea e tāhawahawa nei i ō tātou awa?

He aha ngā mahi a tēnā iwi, a tēnā iwi kia kore ai e tāhawahawatia ō rātou takutai moana?

Koia nei ētahi tauira o te tāhawahawa:

ko te para wē ka papī atu ki te oneone, ka tāhawahawa i te wainuku
ki te waihotia he mīti ki waho i te whata mātao, ka tāhawahawatia e te para o te rango me te huakita
ka tāhawahawatia te hau takiwā e te auahi ka puta ina tahuna te kirihou
ko te tuku i te para hinu ki te kōawa, ka tāhawahawa i te wai
ka tāhawahawatia ngā awa i te tukutanga o te tāoke 1080 ki ngā ngahere hei patu paihamu.

Tohua mai ngā mea kei roto i tēnei rūma ka tāhawahawa i te oneone mēnā ka tanua.

He aha ngā mea e tāhawahawa nei i ō tātou awa?

He aha ngā mahi a tēnā iwi, a tēnā iwi kia kore ai e tāhawahawatia ō rātou takutai moana?
