Aloha pumehana Laura! Mahalo piha for da super important/ useful grammer vids, I've been doing this along with my olelo course and it's helped me stay ahead of da curve! Question, assuming you're fluent now do you find it hard to actually speak Hawaiian on a daily or at least hopefully a weekly basis? As even here in the kingdom it's not used everywhere. I'm putting in the work to be fluent within another year but am hoping that by that time I'm able to incorporate in in my daily life whether that's with a group of maybe fellow students or maybe a job that it's used at. I'd just like to help the movement to perpetuate our stolen culture and get as many fellow kanaka and even other non kanaka Hawai'i residents on the same page. That's the intention but I do fear that after the hard work to get fluent I'm able to not only remember/ ho'oma'ama'a , but be able to expand deeper on the language/ way of thinking. I guess I was just wondering your thoughts on groups/ some kind of avenue to keep it going and curious as to how your journey has been and how often you use it :)
Well, we've been mostly looking at verbs in the indicative moods and I may have shown an example or two of imperative. Subjunctive would be a little more advanced, and I hope to cover that in the future. I'll be going over some of the English modal verbs in my next grammar series, which I hope to release some time this year.
I have a question about the following imaginary situation. I have a brother and we grow up. We both get married and because of that I decide to move out. Therefore, my wife and I build up our own house, it is made by us, and my brother and his wife continue living in our parents' house, which is inherited. So, is it correct to say: He hale ka'u. (I have a house "which I built") He hale kona. (He has a house "which he inherited")

how about any moods in hawaiian grammar?
or a topic for modal verbs?

Great video! But I was wondering how do you negate the verb and say "I don't have any books" or "I don't have a Tv"? Mahalo in advance.
