My first problem is - the meaning of the verb because......
kupokea 1 : infinitive Root -pokea 1
<pre>-pokea 1 verb :
1) consent, approve, accept
2) receive
</pre>
kupokea 2 : infinitive Root -pokea 2
<pre>-pokea 2 verb
receive, welcome, meet
</pre>
What about the first meaning( s) which usually give the best meaning of the word ? And te uncomplex sentences - it drives me crazy ! =D

Yes, because of this, I translated this sentence as 'he approves of me' which at made sense, whereas the answer given is meaningless!

In that case it would be "he approves on behalf of me". The -elea ending makes this verb into a benefactive verb, meaning that what is done is on behalf of or for the benefit of the one refered to in the object concord.
