"ʻO ka mea hea kou makemake?"

Translation: Which one do you want?

[DABurnside]

ʻO ka mea hea kou makemake? So does this really mean, Which one is your desire?

[rabelon]

Yes.

[BarbaraLea954887]

I thought "you" was 'oe, and "kou" means your.

I see only "kou" listed as a the only choice. Please provide a grammar explanation.

[rabelon]

"Which thing/item is your desire."

[Zach_Factor]

how are "hea" and "aha" different? are they interchangeable?

[MacKinzieRob]

I wish DLHawaiian would not show the entire sentence when I point at a single word

[BarbaraLea954887]

This time I tried the answer - which "thing" do you want - and was marked wrong, although "thing" is listed as one of the possible translations. Interesting.

[Maui_Bartlett]

"Thing" may not have been accepted before, but should be now!

[Mak511906]

Some times they throw in options that have nothing to do with the sentence topic. I think that's either to confuse us or to keep us on our toes.

[Cos..]

Why does this begin with ʻO ?

Doesnʻt that signify a name / proper noun, or a person or place which would have a name when used in a question like this?

[SDB333]

I believe it also marks the subject of the sentence.

[KaiaGill]

It begins in 'O because tue person is telling someone to turn.

[Moikeha1]

What you like?!

[JHaalilioH]

ack! on which do you prefer?

[Maui_Bartlett]

I'll accept "Which do you prefer?" Mahalo for suggesting it. Please do report these kinds of answers using the flag icon that shows up when you get marked wrong.
