We have looked at verbs of movement.
Also at stative verbs.
There is another class of verb which can take the passive.
ka mahi au i te mea. I work at the thing.
Ka mahia e au te mea.
The thing is worked by me.
Note that i and ki are used differently in each class or set of verbs;
Following verbs of movement i means from and ki means to.
Following stative verbs i means by.
Following verbs which take the passive i or ki do not have a distinct meaning.
And then then there is the instrumental ki.
