"ʻO ka lā ʻehia o Ianuali ka lā hōʻike?"

Translation: Which day of January is the show date?

[GeraldMath4]

I for one got "wrong word" for not adding redundant "date" after "show."

[Mak511906]

"What day in January is the show?" same thing, yeah? Why not?

[jdmcowan]

Seems the same to me. Did you get marked wrong? Did you use the report flag and mark "My answer should have been accepted?

[OulonoFola]

I like "What day ..".

[MouleAuMaroille]

I don't understand the difference between "hea" and " 'ehia". Can someone explain me? Mahalo nui!

[GeraldMath4]

" 'Ehia" asks for a number or amount, "hea" wants you to choose, "which?"

[Tiare58379]

those words are not there....

[DiegoJaviUnlam]

Aloha! It seems it is not the only answer. I have used the translation from the word bank, and it was accepted.

So, there are at least two translations here:

• Which day of January is the show?

• What day in January is the show?

Are not these sentences meaning the same? Since I am not a native English speaker, I think I cannot be sure about which sentence in English is better. It seems that both sentences work in this exercise. :)

[jdmcowan]

I think most native English speakers would not think anything unusual if they heard the first sentence. But I think most Americans (I can't be sure about others) would say the second sentence.

As a native speaker of English, it's the same to me. And I used the second one and was marked wrong. =(
