"Hoe waʻa pinepine au."

Translation: I frequently paddle canoe.

[JamesTWils]

This sounds very odd to me. I go canoeing. I paddle a canoe. Maybe, I even canoe, but I do not paddle canoe.

They are mirroring the syntax, and it is not uncommon to hear English said this way in Hawai'i.

[MacKinzieRob]

Yep. Actually most folks just say 'paddle' and everyone knows what they mean

Doesn't "pinepine" also mean "regularly"? Why was "I regularly paddle canoe" not accepted?

[Kamakea1]

I think that pinepine could describe something that occurs with high but potentially sporadic or random frequency. Whereas ma'amau describes something that occurs at the same frequency e.g. once a day, every first Friday.
