Counting: ʻe, toko, or foʻi?

This is a practice drill from the free 52-lesson Tongan course. The course reaches for it in lesson 31, existential expressions, where it runs inside the lesson as well as on this page, rated intermediate.

ʻe for things, toko for people, foʻi for single round/whole items.

Every item asks the same thing: Which classifier fills the blank? Each item shows a line of Tongan and a short row of answers to tap. Right or wrong, the drill then says why that answer is the one the grammar wants.

One from the deck: ha ___ niu. The answers offered are foʻi, ʻe, toko.
