"He mākaʻi ʻo ia."

Translation: She is a police officer.

[JericaDela]

It should be 'cop' or just 'police.'

[kelii....]

cop is an acceptable translation.

[Mick297287]

I'm confused
'o 'ia : stands for he she or it right ? So why is " he is a police officer " incorrect ?

[kelii....]

That should be accepted. Please report it as your answer should be accepted.

[Maui_Bartlett]

Mahalo for reporting, folks. He is a police officer should be accepted now.

[KarinLynn1]

Not sure why "she is a policeman" is wrong (does that infer it should be "police girl" or something?

[Elizabeth479929]

I'm pretty sure that they accept "She is a policewoman."
