E toru ngā karangatanga tūāhua, he rerekē te whakamahinga o te tūāhua i tēnā me tēnā.
1. Ko te tūāhua noa - hei whakaatu i te āhua o tētahi mea. Hei tauira:
He whero tōna tīhāte.
I kuhuna e ia tōna tīhāte whero .
Kua whero ōna pāpāringa i tana kaha ki te omaoma.
2. Ko te tūāhua whakatairite - hei whakatairite i ētahi mea e rua. Ka tāpiria te ‘ake’, te ‘atu’, te ‘iho’ rānei ki te tūāhua. Hei tauira:
He tere ake a Hema i a Pare.
He iti iho te utu mō te tamariki i tō te pakeke.
He roa atu i te rima meneti.
3. Ko te tūāhua inati - he kupu hei whakaatu i te mea kei runga ake tētahi āhua ōna, o roto i tētahi huinga. Ko ngā kupu ‘rawa atu’ e tino whakamahia ana i te reo Māori. Hei tauira:
O ngā tamariki katoa, ko ia te mea tere rawa atu ki te omaoma.
Kātahi te whakaaro pai rawa atu ko tēnā.
Ko te kīanga tūāhua, koia tētahi huinga kupu ka whakakapi i te wāhi o te tūāhua. Hei tauira:
Ko te wāhi i whānau ai au, kei tua o te awa e rere nei.
Ko te tangata mau pōtae rā, ko ia te kaiwaiata o te pēne.
