"Aia ka pia ma ka lumi kuke?"

Translation: Is the beer in the kitchen?

[GeraldMath4]

Have we learned how to say "Is there any beer in the kitchen?" yet? I don't remember.

[MacKinzieRob]

It's been a year and no one has answered this question. I would like to know the answer too

[kelii....]

He pia ko ke lumi kuke? I believe that is the way. Pretty sure it is ko and not ka. You can also say He pia i ka lumi kuke?

[kelii....]

It sounds like he is saying pi‘a instead of pia

[Kamakea1]

Kākoʻo.

[Quinn5n]

when you click on aia it says space/time so it probably means that aia is for location and time

[ElizabethS438904]

I've seen Aia and He used as Is/Are verbs. What's the difference between Aia and He? When do we use each one?

[GeraldMath4]

I don't remember seeing either of those used quite as verbs, although I guess "aia" is sort of like "to be located" sometimes. Pukui and Elbert say "he" is a demonstrative, then offer "to be; have" as translations. E.g. "He ka'a ko'u" = "I have a car." Who am I to suggest that is really "A car [is] mine"?
