Not sure why "much" isn't as good as "a lot of."

Interesting that adding "nui" and/or "ma laila" makes the "i ke" correct. I just had "Mai ho'olilo i ke kālā" shot down in favor of "Mai ho'olilo kālā" for "Don't spend money."

[KarinLynn1]

Can 'a'ole negate verbs also ("'a'ole ho'olilo...")?

[GeraldMath4]

Sure. Just like "doesn't" can negate verbs in English. Maybe "A'ole wau hoʻolilo nui i ke kālā ma laila" might mean "I don't spend a lot of money there," but don't take my word for that.
