"Līhuʻe is cloudy."

Translation: ʻŌmalumalu ʻo Līhuʻe.

I wish when I clicked on a single word for a auggestion, DLHawaiian wouldn't give me the wholesentence

[RonRGB]

From Wikipedia: Lihue / Līhuʻe is the county seat of Kauaʻi County, Hawaii. Līhuʻe is the second largest town on the Hawaiian island of Kauaʻi after Kapaʻa.

Why is it not correct to put "he" at the beginning to indicate "existence" (?whatever?) of cloudiness?

[massimiliano6274]

Because that world ('omalumalu) is an adjective, not a noun.

[KarinLynn1]

Seems some are both adj and nouns but I get it with this one (a month later! I'm learning! :) )

[lynneo]

But then, where is the VERB?? It doesn't say 'Cloudy Līhu'e', but "Līhu'e IS cloudy."

[Ivitcyex]

The adjective functions as a verb in this case. Hawaiian doesn't have a to be verb.

Would "ka 'ömalumalu o Līhu'e" also be correct? (The cloudiness of Lihue")
