"E kani ka pila i ka pāʻina."

Translation: Play music at the party.

[Riceburns]

Kani ka pila: This phrase now helps me understand a local entertainment venue where live musicians play most every night of the week here in Waikīkī.

The word guide implies that "play music" and "play instrument" are the same... Is that true?

[KekoaMonkey]

Aloha e @3CelticVikings , ʻae, these would be two different things. Not sure why Duolingo translated this as "play music." "play an instrument" is more accurate to the literal meaning.

[KarinLynn1]

why not "play instruments at the dinner"? Seemingly acceptable translations for each word?
