Lea Faka-Tonga · Drills

Plural markers

This is a practice drill from the free 52-lesson Tongan course. The course reaches for it in lesson 25, plural markers, where it runs inside the lesson as well as on this page, rated intermediate.

ngaahi (general), kau (people), fanga (animals), ʻū (a few), ongo (exactly two).

Every item asks the same thing: Which plural marker 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: e ___ faiakó. The answers offered are kau, ngaahi, fanga.
