REMINDERS
• Note that `o is used when an i`oa (proper noun) occurs in the piko position for both the pepeke `aike he and `o.– He kauka `o Palani. Palani is a doctor.
– `O au `o Palani. I am Palani.
REMINDERS
• Note that with pepeke `aike `o, the words used as po`o and piko can be switched, without the basic meaning being changed. With pepeke `aike `o, the thing that is right after “ `o” is the thing that is emphasized as shown in bold below. You CANNOT switch the words in this way with pepeke `aike he.
• `O Kalani `o ia. He is Kalani.• `O ia `o Kalani. He is Kalani. • `O kēia kona ka`a. This is her car.• `O kona ka`a kēia. This is her car.
REMINDERS
• Some ka`i can stand by themselves if the following meme`a (noun) is dropped as understood.
• `O kēia (mea) ko`u (mea).This (thing) is mine (thing).
• He mākeke kēlā (hale). That (building) is a market.
• `O Nani kekahi (haumāna). Nani is one (student).
HE AHA vs. `O WAI
• Note that “he aha” means “what” and “ ‘o wai” means “who.” Although in English you ask, “What is your name?” in Hawaiian you ask, “Who is your name?” as in “ `O wai kou inoa?” To say “He aha kou inoa?” means something quite different as shown in the following example:
• `O wai kou inoa? What is your name?
(Keoki? Sean? Pua? Lynn?)• He aha kou inoa? What is your name?
(a Chinese name? a Japanese name? an old family name? a name from the Bible?)
HE AHA vs. `O WAI• In Hawaiian, you always use “ `o wai” when asking for the personal name
of a specific individual person, place, or thing. In other words, when you use “ `o wai,” you are asking for an i`oa (proper noun). “He aha” is used when asking for a general term or description known as the name for all things that have the same traits. See the following examples:
• `O wai ka inoa o kēia `īlio? What is the name of this dog?
(Spot? Spuds? Bruiser? Princess?)• He aha ka inoa o kēia `īlio? What is the name of this dog?
(a Labrador? a Doberman? a Chihuahua?) • `O wai ka inoa o kēia mele? What is the name of this song?
(Aloha `oe? Jingle Bells? Itsy Bitsy Spider?)• He aha ka inoa o kēia mele? What is the name of this song?
(a ballad? a lullaby? a church hymn?)
REMINDERS
• As was the case with pepeke painu, you do not need to have an `awe, but can choose to add one (or more) to indicate when, where, or with whom someone or something is.
• He pua kēnā ma kona lauoho. That (n) is a flower in her hair.
• `O Kumu Makua ka`u kumu ma ke kula. Kumu Makua is my teacher at school.
COLLOQUIAL
• In informal conversations, the ‘o or he at the beginning of the sentence can be dropped.
• Formal: ‘O ko`u ka`a kēlā. That is my car.
• Colloquial: Ko`u ka`a kēlā. That’s my car.
REMINDERS
• Notice that when you want to give the proper name of something, you need to use `o before it. For example, if you want to say high school, you would say “ke kula ki`eki`e.” If you want to say a particular high school (the name of it), you say “ke kula ki`eki`e `o ____” as in the example below:
• `O kēlā ke kula ki`eki`e `o Waiākea.
That (f) is Waiākea High School.• `O kēia ka mahina `o `Okakopa.
This is the month of October. • Please note that this applies to other types of sentences as well:• Aia ka hōkele `o Naniloa ma ke alanui `o Banyan.
Naniloa Hotel is on Banyan Drive.
