Example 71-114
Kela ua pimai.
It is raining.
- Comment:
- This is a hypothetical example based on the typical raining construction of early Hawai'i Pidgin English (rain come). It is unclear whether Pidgin Hawaiian used the same pattern, but the attested pattern in Example 113 does utilize the noun 'rain' as opposed to the verb, as is the case here.
