"Aia ma hea ʻo Tita?"

Translation: Where is Sister?

[Klgregonis]

So, sister is capitalized as if it were a name, but is required to be translated. But other names aren't translated. Team Hawaiian - consistency is lacking.

[Kamakea1]

In the skill Order Food, mom was not capitalized in the following sentence:
E ʻoka au e māmā. / I'll order, mom. I posted there and said that if we use lower case then it should have a ka'i: e ka māmā.

[Ivitcyex]

It's a title, not a name.

[MacKinzieRob]

Nope. It can be either.

[BethKing-M]

When do you use "aia I hea" vs. "aia MA hea"?? I'm still not clear on that choice.

[RonRGB]

With "aia" either "i" or "ma" should be accepted, "ma hea" or "i hea".

This is how creepy families talk.

Hahahahaha so true

[Kawika84750]

Okey, they got this one wrong. I know someone named Tita.

[Kawika84750]

If tita is being used as sister, it shouldn't be capitalized!
