"What day is the holiday?"

[DouglasJulien]

What about: ʻO ka Pōʻahia ka lānui?

[PilimaiTraub]

Why is Pōʻahia not accepted?

[Mariela85057]

Wouldn’t it be right “Aia ka lānui ma ka lā ‘ehia?, or Aia ka lānui ma ka Pō’ahia?”

[RonRGB]

What (day) is the holiday? The holiday is Monday.

What (date) is the holiday? The holiday is January third.

The way this duolingo sentence is being used causes confusion.

{ DAY (which or what) = ka Pōʻahia }

is being used as

{ DATE (which or what) = ka lā ʻehia }
