2. (noun) digit.
Ko te mati tētahi tohutau kotahi. Koinei te huinga o ngā mati katoa o tō tātau pūnaha tau: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}. Arā ētahi tau e rua, nui ake rānei ōna mati. Hei tauira, he tau matirua te 34, he tau matitoru te 894 (TRP 2010:168). / A digit is a single numeral. The set of digits in our number system is: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}. Some numbers have more than two digits. 34 is a two-digit number, 894 has three digits (TRP 2010:168).
3. (particle) Also used as a prefix to numbers, e.g. mationo (six digit).
He tau matiwhā ēnei: 3621, 9086, 4521, 3620 (TRP 2010:168). / These are four digit numbers: 3621, 9086, 4521, 3620.

2. (noun) digital time.

mati whai tikanga
1. (noun) significant figure (digit).
Ko te mati whai tikanga, koia nei te nui o ngā mati e tika ana hei whakaatu i te uara o tētahi tau mēnā e whakaawhiwhia ana taua tau. Hei tauira, ko te tāroaroa o tētahi tangata - kia 3 ngā mati whai tikanga, arā pea ko te 1.76m. Kāore he take o te 1.76459m (kāore hoki e taea kia pērā rawa te tōtika o te ine). Ki te whakaawhiwhia te 0.0287 kia rua ngā mati whai tikanga, ko te 0.03 tērā. Ki te whakaawhiwhia te 3,745 kia rua ngā mati whai tikanga, ko te 3,700 tērā (TRP 2010:169). / A significant figure is the number of digits necessary to show the value of a number when rounding off, or making an approximation. For example, giving the height of a person to three significant figures would be 1.76m. The exactness of a measure such as 1.76459m would be unnecessary, and difficult to measure correctly. Rounding 0.0287 to two significant figures would be 0.03. Rounding 3,745 to two significant figures would be 3,700 (TRP 2010:169).
