Te tuanui,Ko te tuarima o ngā mata o te whare, ko ngā mahi matua ko te ārai wai, te whakamahana me te whakamārama i te rā. I ngā tau tata nei, nā te rerekētanga o te tono mō ngā āhuatanga hoahoa, e kiia ana hoki te tuanui he wāhanga nui o te whakatauira hoahoa, me whai whakaaro ki te hoahoa. Ina tae mai te tini o ngā kiritaki ki a mātou mō te hoahoa, he uaua ki a rātou te whiriwhiri i te tuanui papatahi, i te tuanui piki rānei. Mā tēnei tuhinga koe e whakaatu, e whakamārama hoki i ngā āhuatanga ōrite me ngā rerekētanga i waenganui i ngā mea e rua, kia mārama ai koe i te wā e whiriwhiri ana.

Tuatahi, me kōrero tātou mō te āhuatanga noa o te tuanui papatahi me te tuanui pīrori.
E hiahiatia ana kia rua ngā āhuatanga o te ārai wai me te ārai wera, ā, me whai paparanga ārai wai me te paparanga ārai wera hoki rāua. Kāore e taea te kī he pai ake te mahi ārai wai o te tuanui pari i te tuanui papatahi. Ka whakamahia te tuanui pari i ngā wāhi ua nā te mea he pari tōna ake, he ngāwari ki te tango i te wai ua mai i te tuanui. Heoi, mō te hanganga ārai wai, me whai paparanga ārai wai e rua ngā tuanui papatahi me te tuanui pari. Ka taea te whakamahi i te tuanui papatahi hei whakakotahi i te rauemi takai uku me te paninga ārai wai. Ko te taera o te tuanui pari he parenga ārai wai, ā, kua wharikihia he paparanga ārai wai ki raro.
Ko te mahi ā-wai o te tuanui e whakatauhia ana e ngā rauemi me ngā hanganga ā-wai, kāore e pā ana ki te whiriwhiri i te tuanui papatahi me te tuanui piki. Ka taea e koe te whakaaro ki te tuanui papatahi he puna kaukau nui, engari ehara i te mea hei penapena wai te kaupapa o tēnei puna kaukau, engari hei tuku i te wai kia tere te rere mā roto i te paipa heke. Nā te iti o te piki, kāore te kaha rerenga wai o te tuanui papatahi i te tere rite ki te tuanui piki. Nō reira, ko te tuanui papatahi te nuinga o te wā e whakamahia ana i ngā wāhi he iti te ua i te raki.

Tuarua, me kōrero tātou mō ngā rerekētanga i waenganui i ngā mea e rua
Mō te whakarōpūtanga, ka taea te whakamahi i te tuanui papatahi me te tuanui pari i roto i ngā momo āhua rerekē, tae atu ki te tuanui whakapūmau hau, te tuanui rokiroki wai, te tuanui whakato, me ētahi atu. Ka whakatauhia ēnei tuanui i runga i te rohe me te āhuarangi o te whare. Hei tauira, ka tīpakohia te tuanui whakapūmau hau me te tuanui rokiroki wai i ngā wāhi wera. He pai te tuatahi mō te whakapūmau hau o roto me te whakawhiti rere, ā, ka taea e te tuarua te mahi hei whakamatao tinana. Nā te rerekētanga o ngā pari, ka whakamahia whānuitia ngā tuanui whakato me te tuanui rokiroki wai ki ngā tuanui papatahi, ā, he nui ake te whakamahi i ngā tuanui whakapūmau hau ki ngā tuanui pari.
Ina tirohia te taumata hanganga, he nui ake ngā taumata o ngā tuanui piko.
Ko te taumata hanganga o te tuanui papatahi mai i te pereti hanganga tuanui ki runga ko: pereti hanganga – paparanga whakamahana – paparanga whakataurite – paparanga ātete wai – paparanga wehe – paparanga tiaki
Ko te taumata hanganga o te tuanui piki ko te pereti hanganga o te tuanui ki runga: pereti hanganga – paparanga whakamahana – paparanga whakataurite – paparanga ātete wai – paparanga pupuri whao – rīpene whakararo – rīpene iri tāera – tāera tuanui.

Mō ngā rauemi, he nui ake te kōwhiringa rauemi mō te tuanui pīrori i te tuanui papatahi. Nā te mea he maha ngā momo rauemi tāera i ēnei rā. He tāera kakariki iti tuku iho, he tāera karāhe, he tāera papatahi (tāera Itari, tāera Hapanihi), he tāera uku, me ētahi atu. Nō reira, he nui te wāhi i roto i te hoahoa o te tae me te āhua o te tuanui pīrori. Ko te tuanui papatahi ka wehea whānuitia ki te tuanui urunga me te tuanui kore urunga. Ko te tuanui urunga ka wharikihia ki te papa poraka hei tiaki i te paparanga ā-wai i raro. Ko te tuanui urunga ka wharikihia tika ki te moata sima.

Mō te mahi, he nui ake te whai huatanga o te tuanui papatahi i te tuanui pari. Ka taea te whakamahi hei taupee whakamaroke. Ka taea te whakamahi hei māra tuanui me te whenua. Ka taea hoki te whakamahi hei tūāpapa tirotiro hei tiro i ngā maunga tawhiti me te rangi whetu. Heoi anō, he tirohanga whakamiharo te tuanui i te rā, he wāhi o waho o te whare.

Mō te whakatauira hoahoa o te mata o mua, ko te "Mata Tuarima" te mea nui ake te mana whakatauira o te tuanui piki i te tuanui papatahi. He maha ngā tikanga hoahoa, pērā i te haere tonu o ngā tuanui piki rerekē, te whakakotahitanga honohono, te whakatuwheratanga tihi taurite, me ētahi atu.
