2. AANO
ʻ ʻ
•As a reminder, aano are
ʻ ʻ
stative verbs. As the name
implies, stative verbs refer
to a state or condition of a
person or an object.
Examples include traits,
feelings, conditions, colors,
etc.

3. PATTERN
•When using aano, the ami preceding the
ʻ ʻ ʻ
object will always be i or i .
ā
 
Aano
ʻ ʻ
+ Subject +I/I
Ā
+ Object
With this pattern, i/i can be translated as by,
ā
because of, with, from, makes, causes, etc.

4. Aano
ʻ ʻ
+ Subject +I/I
Ā
+ Object
 
•English: The rain made my hair wet.
•Hawaiian Thinking: My hair is wet by the rain.
–Aano: wet
ʻ ʻ
–Subject (who/what is wet?) = my hair
–Object (what caused its wetness?) = the rain
•Translation: Ua pulu + kou lauoho + i ka ua.
ʻ
 
•*Remember to look at the root of the sentence first “Pulu kou
ʻ
lauoho,” which means “My hair is wet.” With this type of
sentence, you can translate “i/i ” as “by, from, because of,
ā
etc.”
•*If you translated the sentence “Ua pulu ka ua i kou lauoho,”
ʻ
then the translation would be “My hair made the rain wet” or
“The rain is wet because of my hair.”
