Lea Faka-Tonga · Drills

Which direction

This is a practice drill from the free 52-lesson Tongan course. The course reaches for it in lesson 28, directional particles, where it runs inside the lesson as well as on this page, rated intermediate.

mai (toward me), atu (toward you), ange (toward them), hake/hifo (up/down).

Every item asks the same thing: Which directional particle 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: ʻOku ʻalu ___ ʻa Siale. The answers offered are mai, atu, ange.
