I am just a beginner. How would we say the negative of this sentence? How do we say Kaleo is not my uncle?

My guess is 'anakala is a direct borrowing from uncle, if you expand it into hawaiian syllable structure! And wiktionary seems to think the same: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CA%BBanakala

Does Hawaiian have different methods for expressing "Kaleo is my uncle" and "My uncle is Kaleo"? These seem to have slightly different meanings.
