"The practice is long today."

Translation: Lōʻihi ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kēia lā.

Would "The practice today is long." also be a correct translation?

[Maui_Bartlett]

I'll accept that. It might take Duo a day or two to update.

Is this the correct usage of lōʻihi ?
Lōʻihi usually refers to lengths, heights,distances.
Wouldn't li'u or li'uli'u be a better choice?

liʻu.liʻu
1; to pass much time; to spend much time

[Maui_Bartlett]

Aloha e MojaveMama! Mahalo for this question. Lōʻihi can be used as "long" when referring to space, but also time as well! I'm a fan of the word liʻuliʻu also, but I have probably heard lōʻihi more often.
