Hawaiian–English Regression Tests
This is a list of Hawaiian → English regression tests. Needless to say, it is currently a work in progress.
Sentence Structure
Simple Sentences
In Hawaiian, simple sentences can be expressed in the form adjective–determiner–noun. Common Hawaiian determiners include definite articles (ka, ke), demonstratives (keia, kela, kena), and possessives (kaʻu, koʻu, kau, kou, kana, kona, etc.).
Listed below are several test sentences, which can be translated in either direction:
(haw) nani ka wahine → (eng) the woman is beautiful
(haw) akamai ke keiki → (eng) the child is clever
(haw) ikaika ke kane → (eng) the man is strong
(haw) nui ka hale → (eng) the house is big
Other sentences take the form of definite determiner–'to be' verb–demonstrative determiner–noun.
Example sentences:
(haw) ka ʻilio keia → (eng) this is the dog
(haw) ka ninau kena → (eng) that is the question
(haw) ke kapikala keia → (eng) this is the capital
(haw) ke heʻe kena → (eng) that is the octopus
