Episode 7 of Ka Leo ʻŌiwi will help you understand

kēnā / that (near) and kēlā / that (away). And also the Hawaiian plurals (nā) and (mau).

Listen and watch the Hawaiian language video from time segment [6:21] to [10:40] to understand kēlā = that (away) vs. kēnā = that (near).

Thank you for your post, Ron. I actually think it's the other way, though... kēnā / that (NEAR) and kēlā / that (FAR). I still gave you a lingot :) as I appreciate your comments and the videos :)

Mahalo for letting me know. I corrected my mistake.

[Honuiki]

No Hawaiian dictionary shows pakini as meaning bucket.

Glad I hadn't memorized it yet! Mix-up with pā kini?

[MojaveMama]

pā kini
n. Tin pan, pan, basin (preceded by ke). Pā kini holoi, wash pan.

Gerald, you would still be correct.

Aha! Try look up basin instead of bucket.

Should still be (near you). "The listener" is the person I am talking to, and I only talk to you (singular or plural).

I said (close) which means (near) - certainly means the same thing to me?? so marked my answer as should be correct, no?

[GeraldMath4]

Has to be "close to."
