Mahia kia pēnei.
Do it like this.Kei te mau hū au pērā i a ia.
I am wearing shoes like her.E, kāti te kōrero pēnā mō taku mokopuna!
Hey, stop talking like that about my grandchild!Me pēnei.
(You should do it) like this.He pēnei tonu au ki te mahi.
I am always working (lit: "I always work like this").Kei te moe tonu pea, pērā i tō rāua pāpā.
They are probably still sleeping, just like their father.I moe ia, pēnei tonu i a Tamahae nei.
He was asleep, just like Tamae here.Kei te pērā tonu au.
I'm unchanged.Kei te pērā tonu hoki a muri i a ia.
Those behind him were doing the same.Kei te pōturi pēnā me te ngeru.
Slow like a cat.Kei te mau hū au pērā i a Michael Jordan.
I am wearing shoes like Michael Jordan.Ki te ngaro te reo, ka ngaro tāua pērā i te moa.
If the language is lost, we are lost like that of the large extinct moa bird.Me pēnei taku kōrero...
Let me tell you like this...He aha i pēnei ai?
Why is it like this?Nā te aha koe i titiro tītaha pērā mai ai?
What caused you to look sideways at me like that?Nā te aha i pēnei ai?

Don't talk like that.Nā te aha i pērā ai?
For what reason is it like that?He pai ki a au ngā rangi pēnei, he ātaahua.
I like days like this - beautiful!Kāore au i te pīrangi ki tētehi kai pērā i tēnei ata.
I do not want any food like that this morning.Me tū teitei koe pērā i te tōtara.
You should stand tall like the tātara tree.Me waiata pēnei koe: Hari huritau ki a koe!
You should sing like this: happy birthday to you!He pērā te āhua o Ataahua, he ngākau māhaki tōna.
Ataahua's nature is like that, he has a kind heart.Me wiri ō ringa pēnei.
You should quiver your hands like this.He aha koe i titiro tītaha pēnā mai ai?
Why do you always look sideways at me like that?
