NOTE: (ke pā / the plate and ke pākaukau / the table) are exceptions to the rule . Most words that begin with the letter (P) take (ka) / the.
Ke is typically used before words starting with K, E, A, O like ke keiki / the man and ke aliʻi / the ruler.
Ke keiki/the man?
When do you use "ua" before the oka? I thought that this sentence was "Ua oka au i ke pā mea 'ai Pākē." Please answer
"ua" can be used as a past tense (completed action) marker.
Your sentence says I ordered...
I had the same question!
I keep stumbling over this: 'Oku au - I order but Uku - to order. Is this a typo or that's just the way it is? Mahalo
'Oka is order. Ua 'oka is ordered. I believe 'uku is tripe.
Thank you :) ʻoka au - I order Ua ʻoka - I ordered ʻōpū - tripe or stomach ʻuku au - I pay Unfortunately I can't remember which sentence made me think of ʻuku as to order instead of pay.
Thanks! I'd rather pay than order tripe! :)
Ditto :)
