My explanation: the sentence more literally translated is "you learned what this day?" So I think aha is what, it needs a ke in front, because that's what Hawaiian does, and the i signifies the part of the sentence coming up, i.e. "a thing." Just happens the thing is "what" which isn't how we think of it in English. But very consistent with the sentence structures I've learned here.

As Eliza727459 explained it, "i ke aha" is "what" (as an object). I think (but someone with more advanced knowledge please correct me) "did you learn today" would be "ua aʻo ʻoe i kēia lā."
