 The Maori language has the proper article "a", which is used for personal nouns; so, "a Pita" means "Peter".In Maori, when the personal nouns have the definite or indefinite article as an important part of it, both articles are present; for example, the phrase "a Te Rauparaha", which contains both the proper article "a" and the definite article "Te" refers to the person name Te Rauparaha.The definite article is sometimes also used with proper names, which are already specified by definition (there "is" just one of them).
