"Sit in a circle."

Translation: E noho lina poepoe.

[rabelon]

Why isn't it E noho i ka lina poepoe?

[Everlighta]

'Ae, 'o wai ka mea e kōkua ana me kēia nīnau?

[Everlighta]

My guess is that it's about the article, which is indefinite. Sit in a circle. That's why the answer can't be E noho i ka lina poepoe. But I believe that you have suggested a grammatically correct version.

[RonRGB]

noho = sit

lina = ring

poepoe = round

E noho lina poepoe = Sit in a circle.

[Hawaiian-German]

E noho i ka pō'ai. Is this an option?

[Hawaiian-German]

E noho i kekahi lina poepoe. Can that be used?
