I was trying to say "there are no seals in Seal Beach" -- "ʻAʻohe sila o Seal Beach" and my kumu corrected me because it came out like "ʻAʻohe sila ʻo Seal Beach." I need to get used to putting a #glide between the "a" of "sila" and the possessive "o," otherwise it becomes a name-indicator "ʻo". #speakhawaiian #olelohawaii #languages #glottalstop #okina
