mātātahi
1. (noun) young people, younger generation.
Kei te mātāpuputu o nāianei ēnei momo kupu e pupuru ana, engari nā te mea kua matemate haere ō rātou hoa kōrero, kua kore e whakamahia e rātou aua kupu, me te aha anō, kua kore e rangona e te mātātahi (HM 1/1994:3). / The present older generation know these types of words, but because their conversation friends have died they no longer use those words and as a consequence the younger generation haven't heard them.
