"What is this?"

Translation: He aha kēia?

[KarinLynn1]

why not "wai" instead of "aha"? was marked as incorrect

[Zach_Factor]

"Wai" means "who" and "aha" means "what."

So, saying "'O wai kēia" translates to "Who is this?" while "He aha kēia" translates to "This is a what?" or "What is this?"

Does the pull down hint need a spelling correction? (Hint states: "He aha kēiā?" Should it be spelled "He aha kēia?")

[Zach_Factor]

yeah it does, report it please

[NJtheSTQ]

Many must also have observed, aha! If we say AHA? all by itself, we know we are requesting an explanation. I'll use this to help me remember anyway :-)
