He Kupu Māori:
| calculator | tātaitai |
| decimal numbers | tau ā-ira |
| 0.83 | kore ira waru toru |
| number with two decimal places | (he) tau kia rua ngā mati ā-ira |
Kia Mataara:
Ko te pānui tika i ngā tau ā-ira:
0.83 = kore ira waru toru (kaua e pānui pēneitia: kore ira waru tekau mā toru)
0.83 is correctly read as ‘zero point eight three (not as zero point eighty three)
He Whakawhitinga Kōrero:
- Tuhia he tau kia rua ngā mati ā-ira ki te tātaitai. Hei tauira, ko te kore ira waru toru (0.83). (Enter a number with 2 decimal places into the calculator. For example: 0.83.)
- Tāpirihia tētahi atu tau ā-ira kia eke ki te kotahi. I tēnei tauira, ki te tāpirihia te 0.17, kua eke ki te kotahi (0.83 + 0.17 = 1) (Add another decimal number to get to one. In this example 0.17 is added to make one)
