Ina (i). 1. conj. adducing a fact as proof of anything. For, since, inasmuch as. Ka mea etahi, “He atua koa, ina te ahua” (T. 16). Kua tae pea kei Rotorua, ina te roa (T. 149). It is sometimes followed by hoki. Kua patua; ina hoki i haere tahi ano koutou, ka ngaro nei i to koutou hokinga mai nei (T. 95).

2. When (of time future, followed by the verb without a particle). Kia mahara mai koe ki a au ina tae koe ki tawahi.

3. Used to emphasise statements as to quality. Te marangatanga ake i te wai, “Ina te kawa o tenei roto” (How bitter the water of this lake is). E ! Ina te kino o te haka o tenei iwi na (T. 65). Used thus the final vowel is somewhat prolonged, inā.

4. Strengthened by the addition of the particles na ra, ia, koa, the use is similar to that in the previous example. Ina koa ko tau tu haka te kino (T. 65). Sometimes becomes simply an expression to attract attention. Ina na ! whakarongo mai (T. 129). Ka mea atu te mokai ra, “Ina na! he whare ke to matou ko o matua” (T. 97).
