"E launa ana kākou ma ke kai."

Translation: We are going to meet at the beach.

doesn't ke kai mean the sea or ocean? I was marked wrong

[Karen493554]

Yes. "Kahakai" is beach. This should be changed.

[Kanaulu]

launa means friendly sociable; hui means meet....

[Auhaele]

Launa can mean meet with http://ulukau.org/elib/collect/ped/index/assoc/D0.dir/book.pdf

Why not, "let's meet at the beach"?

[Riceburns]

I THINK (not sure, just a guess here) we translate as ʻgoingʻ, because ʻanaʻ is like adding ʻ-ingʻ to a word in English?

[GeraldMath4]

Has anyone tried "at the shore"?

[Bob746503]

We will be meeting at the beach is what I submitted which was rejected. To me, "We will be meeting" and "We are going to meet" are identical in meaning and structure.
