"My aunty is from Kauaʻi."

Translation: No Kauaʻi koʻu ʻanakē.

[ideomorph]

This might be a question/comment for native Hawai'ian speakers. It looks like 'anake and 'anakala are terms borrowed from English aunt and uncle. I say this because it occurred to me from my way-back-when studies in anthropology that Hawai'ian is actually the name of a specific type of kinship terminology structure, where all relatives in your generation are "sister" or "brother" and all relatives preceding you are "mother" or "father". Thus, there wouldn't be a distinct term for aunts or uncles. Can anyone clarify?

no ____ mai shouldnt be wrong

[kelii....]

'Ae, but keep in mind that the word mai has not yet been taught yet, and the lessons assume that the learner does not have such prior knowledge.

Yeah I did "No Kauaʻi mai koʻu ʻanakē."

I am lost as to why it is not “no hea”

[kelii....]

hea for places means where. Since you know the place (Kaua'i), you do not need the word hea.
