In my `ôlelo studies, I've learned "nui" means "large" or "a lot," and "loa" means "all the way" or "very."
So if I say, "E makemake nui ana kâkou," I'm saying, "We are all going to want a lot."
My question is, does "a lot" mean quantity? Like, "We're all going to want a lot of things"? Or does "a lot" mean "We're all going to want something very much"?
If I wanted to say, "We're all going to want (something) very much," would I say, "E makemake loa ana kâkou"?
