Can someone please help me understand why "E pani ʻoe i nā puka aniani" is not also correct?
it should be an accepted alternative answer. The exercises are wildly inconsistent. The very next example is to translate: E wehe ʻoe i ka puka.

Thank you for your response, AlanAbonyi. I double checked with my native Hawaiian speaker friend and she agrees.
Having been marked "Incorrect" for leaving "ʻoe" out of a translation earlier, I couldn't figure out why that word wasn't offered for the current translation. "Wildly inconsistent," as AlanAbonyi suggests, must be the right answer.
Dropped subject? ( I understand that this is something that is done, it just feels abrupt, as some sentences in this section contain implicit subjects, and some are dropped.)

Subjects are only used emphatically in the imperative, just like in English.

I agree----especially since all of the other commands have included the word for you and some of the comments have said that the 'oe could be included or left out as it is understood.
