What is difference between hu ka 'ono and ka 'ono loa?

Why is there an "o" before "kēia?"

[KiUlv]

o = of in this case (not to be confused with 'o)

Oops, I see deactivated user, but maybe this is helpful to someone else!

Why not "ʻOno loa kēia mea ʻai!"

[rabelon]

Works for me!

[Oceanic2]

Nui ka 'ono kēia mea 'ai. that's my answer. but duolingo says NO.

[KiUlv]

You're missing something- like o. Nui ka 'ono o kēia mea 'ai

[Oceanic2]

Yep, duo lingo still gipping me.

[deactivated user]

Ha! Maybe because nui ka sounds like too much pidgin for 'ono.

[marijkstee]

Wow, the deliciousness of this food!

[KarinLynn1]

Why can't it just be 'ono kēia mea 'ai (this food is delicious) instead of ka 'ono o kēia 'ai (which is more like the deliciousness of this food...?)
