 In the English language, this could be translated as “A man has arrived” or “The man has arrived” where using "te" as the article in this sentence can represent any man or a particular man.The word "he", which is the indefinite article in Tokelauan, is used to describe ‘any such item’.The word "he" is used in negative statements because that is where it is most often found, alongside its great use in interrogative statements.
