While on Hawaiʻi island, we learned how to make an action occur in the future with e-ana, and the subject was either “kākou”, all of us, or “kāua” you and I. Now let’s learn how to use a kikino, or common noun, as a subject. The sentence order is the same as before, but the subject will have either “ka” or “ke” before it to mean “the” something. E hoʻolohe mai; listen:
Here’s what we already know:
E huakaʻi ana kākou = we will all travel;
“e huakaʻi ana” means “will travel”;
“kākou” means “all of us”.
E huakaʻi ana kākou.
And here’s our new lesson with our new subject:
E huakaʻi ana ka malihini = the visitor will travel.
“E huakaʻi ana” means “will travel”;
“ka malihini” means “the visitor”.
E huakaʻi ana ka malihini.
To practice, the action will stay the same, and the subject will change. Repeat after me. Hoʻomākaukau!
E ʻōlelo ana ke kanaka – the person will speak
E ʻōlelo ana ke koa – the warrior will speak
E ʻōlelo ana ke kupua – the demigod will speak
E ʻōlelo aka ka mikionali – the missionary will speak
