PEPEKE PAINU = QUALITY / TRAIT (slide 1 to 13)

HŌʻOLE: PEPEKE PAINU

= NEGATIVE QUALITY / TRAIT (slide 6)

If the subject is a pronoun such as (I, you, he, they, them), we move the pronoun forward in the sentence so that it comes right after ʻaʻole.

ʻAʻole ʻoe pupuka. = You are not ugly.

ʻAʻole au wīwī. = I am not skinny.

ʻAʻole ʻo ia ʻoluʻolu. = He is not nice.

I used ʻai instead of pāʻina and was marked wrong. Can someone help me here?

[Hawaiian-German]

'ai is also correct - it just was not in their memory bank yet. Always hit "report" if you think your answer is correct and should be added as a possibility.

[KarinLynn1]

I was thinking 'ai was more "to eat *something" (transitive verb) and pā'aina" more intransitive (like to dine, but not necessarily so formal)? Not true?

I like Sushi Bay, which is in Kapolei, better anyway.

ʻAʻole kāua e pāʻina ana ma Genki Sushi.

Why is ‘ana’ necessary? It seems inconsistent in DL.

[Lois985131]

I think that this is sort of a negative future tense so you would use e verb ana
