"The phone is on the chair."

Translation: Aia ke kelepona ma ka noho.

[Lani610435]

I ka is not interchangeable with ma ka?

[cdar1231]

When do you use "i" and when do you use "ma" for on?
I can't seem to get it right.

[Kaylin834655]

When do you know to use ke instead of ka

[BoshlankH]

If the next word begins with K, E, A, or O you use Ke. Otherwise use Ka.

[MacKinzieRob]

Something you put next to your head like a phone does not belong on a place where you sit like a chair

[Helinaana]

Use i anytime is okay. But ma can be used if something is inside or on top
