"Kūʻai au i nā lole ma ke kūʻaiemi."

Translation: I buy clothes at the sale.

[RonRGB]

Kūʻai au : One of the many pleasures and difficulties of studying Hawaiian is how the sound of one word follows into the second word blending the two words into one sound. Example: (Kūʻaiau)

[JHaalilioH]

I buy the clothes at the sale versus I buy clothes at the sale is kinda strange sounding

[KiUlv]

Luckily it accepts both. I used "I buy clothes at the sale"

[Mak511906]

I used "I buy clothes on sale" and was wrong. How is that different?

[Ivitcyex]

Your sentence is describing what kind of clothes you buy (clothes that are on sale) while the original sentence is describing where you are buying the clothes (at the sale).

[Kamakea1]

[I buy the clothes (specific)] = [Kūʻai au i nā lole] but [I buy clothes (in general) = Kūʻai au i ka lole].

[HoferWong]

Previous I was wrong with the use of nā lole and thought lole means clothes. When is it appropriate to use ka lole or nā lole?

[Maryleen20]

How can I say, I will buy clothes at the sale. ??
