"My uncle's thirst is quenched with beer."

Translation: Kena koʻu ʻanakala i ka pia.

[GeraldMath4]

I wonder why "ku'u" is always considered a typo?

[rabelon]

Only because the relationship between you and your uncle is not intimate enough. A lover would be ku'u.

Whaaa? This got a down-arrow? I have not heard this possessive with anything other than "ku'u ipo." Is someone using this possessive form with their car or dog?

[kelii....]

Actually ku'u could be used for anyone or anything you consider dear, such as ku'u hoa or ku'u ka'a, not just ipo. (not my -1 btw)

[deactivated user]

I believe you.

[kelii....]

That is a possible answer. Please report it as such.

Why is ma not OK here?

[kelii....]

ma ka pia instead of i ka pia? The word ma is only for location. It cannot replace the word i in all situations. See the comment saying My uncle is satisfied by the beer. where the word i means by or because of, not at or in or on.
