"Makemake au i ke koloaka lōpū."

Translation: I want a medium soda.

[Wild_lioness]

"The" is here, not "a".

[Kamakea1]

I agree, the translation should be: I want THE medium soda.

[Kamakea1]

I want a medium soda. = Makemake au i koloaka lōpū.

[CATipton]

In other examples, omitting the "ke" results in translating to "a". Here, however, "ke" is used, but it still translates to "a". Shouldn't the translation here be "the"?

[Mak511906]

In a previous sentence, the "i kē..." represented a marker ("i") and "the." This time the "i ke" is just an "a" - is the difference the kahakō? (just looking for clarification here).

What's wrong with "medium size cola"? Isn't that what it means? Not medium something else (color, sweetness, etc.)
