Adding feeling: siʻi and siʻa
This is a practice drill from the free 52-lesson Tongan course. The course reaches for it in lesson 52, emotional articles and possessives, where it runs inside the lesson as well as on this page.
Choose the emotional "the/a" to add pity or affection.
The answers sit in a grid rather than a row, so each item is a choice of box, and the drill names the form you should have reached for.
