Does someone know the difference between hu'ihu'i and anuanu? I'm having some issues with new vocabulary as I was taught words before and now getting new vocabulary which are claimed to have the same meaning (e.q. small= pōkole --> li'ili'i or big= lōʻihi --> nui). I'd be thankful for clearification.

same question; the Duo dictionary (under "more") didn't even have "hu'ihu'i" (?) ("anuanu" does show as cold/chilly/cool.) Is anuanu maybe more for weather and hu'ihu'i for other things?
in English, if tea or coffee is intentionally served cold, this is usually done using ice and we call it iced tea or iced coffee. If the tea or coffee is unintentionally cold, it would not be called iced. Evidently, in Hawaiian, ke kope huihu
i translates either situation. Note that it also allows cold as an answer if you are asked to translate into English.

I don't know why anyone would down-vote your question. It is perfectly legitimate. I guess no aloha on this forum.
"Are you drinking" would be Ke inu nei ʻoe? which is, I believe, present participle. Same intent, different grammatical structure.
