5.23.5 Examples of mach
5.23.5.1 mach PERSONS There is a single canonical example of mach and PERSON:
ER:753 He was still living Lahaina when I came over here. When he died, was about the wartime. Then us, over here, no more airplane, eh, and no more boat for go, so I never go to his funeral, ’cause we
no can reach over there. At that time the wartime was only certain time you can ride on the boat for go over there. So they no can take too much people. So me and my brother, we never go to his funeral
until maybe one year later.
There are couple of near-canonical examples as well: ER:882 But, I never go work. They never call us because, us, that time, we no work down there, we
only get ranch job, eh. Only the–down there the Hawaiian Pine drivers. They go take so much guys. That’s all in the strike time. But with us, no, never get nothing, because us, we go down there, we eat.
MM:325 Well, the only other things that we play, you know, we play ball, and play master. Mostly it’s master, because for play ball you need lot of people, lot of boys. We don’t get that much boys, eh?
So, what we do mostly is play master. I assume that both gai and boi contain SOMEONE in their definitions.
5.23.5.2 mach THINGS There are a couple of canonical examples of mach and PERSON:
FD:296 If you do things by your own self, you know the value of things, that is going to help you
too. There’s so much things, that when you-raise taro, there’s so much things that you can think that, that taro would help you. I know for myself. Like, if you have some bills to pay. You have not enough
like now, we get our income. MY:1467 Chee, let’s see, now. Well, they had not much, no? Only shibai. Once in a while they have
a shibai. And then, the bon dance. No, not much. Not much. We didn’t have much things. Like the children, they had lot of.... Because you can go surfing, you can go fishing. So, Waikiki children was
lucky because at least you can go fishing and surfing, eh?

YA:1064 No more anything up there. No more. We went way up Kalihi Valley. Up there, got single
house, eh? Way up in the valley. We went there, no more nothing. So, next time, we no go. Not much place to hunt, over this side, see. All Kalihi Valley all mountain, too. No more houses. Only get one or
two house in the gulley, you know, the riverside, eh?
5.23.5.4 mach TIMES There is single possible example of mach and TIME in combination:
TA:56 Gilbert. He’s picking for the father. You no see him going around picking leaf. Now, like Hilo one, what get my goat is they like you stack ’em certain way. You know, they like you stack the leaf
open like this. And I wen check my girls with the watch. How much time they can pack in one bag, a 30-pound bag. All open like this. Take them over hour and a half.
171 5.23.5.5 KNOW mach
There are a substantial number of canonical examples of mach and KNOW in combination:
ER:768 I don’t know too much about that. But us guy, like me, we cook the meat, put salt inside,
and we hang ’em up. Put ’em in the bag and we hang ’em up, ’cause no more icebox. We hang ’em up. Then when we like eat ’em, we go get ’em and warm ’em up. Warm up, eat ’em, put ’em in the fry pan.
Or if you like make gravy kind, you make gravy kind. If you like fry pan kind, only with the oil. Then when cook ’em pau, we hang ’em up.
ER:794 Moke Kane, yeah. And John Kane, the two brothers. The Gay cowboys, I don’t know too much. When I come here, they all broke already. The Gay go away. Only the boys and the girls some I
know the name only but, I don’t know by face. Only the name they tell you, this guy Lawrence, and this guy who was up there. Only the old cowboys talk, but I never see them too much. I don’t know the
sisters, too, all.
ER:821 Ah, that, I don’t know too much. But, I only know when I go Keomuku, my mother-in-law
make Hawaiian medicine. She and the father make Hawaiian medicine. Every time when I go down there, they make. Even me sometime I get sick, they make. Sometime I no like take sour, huh, but I take.
They give me Hawaiian medicine. Even my sister, my half-sister. ER:821 Yeah, my half-sister. Because my father had two wife. Like me, I was in the second, second
mother one. And them guys in the first. Had one girl and one boy from his first wife. I get half-brother, too. Then from my second mother, we had six of us. Two girl and four boys. And the first wife had two.
One girl and one boy. So the boy, I think he wen make long time because I don’t know too much.
ER:835 Yeah, Jerry. Him was the other. But he don’t know too much basketball. The one that most, only the seven guys. But when Sunday, ah, let ’em play. Any kind. We had pretty good team. Lana‘i Pine
was strong but we lick ’em. But one year they lick us. One year they lick us, the rest, they no lick us. That time we had strong, strong team, though.
ER:892 I don’t know too much about because I don’t go around. I only stay home inside here.
Sometime I go down there by the hotel, by the old house, go look what I like, pick up sometime, bring home. Bumbai I know they going broke the house.
ER:894 Yeah, sometime guys go up the pump, if they no take care the water good. Because the water, only dripping, eh, only dripping. Then he fall down, fall down, the water run plenty. And the
water from the mountain, just like only dripping, dripping. I don’t know too much about the water. But I know they digging plenty well all around the place. They getting water but some maybe brackish
water. So if they use that kind water most for the housing, the cesspool water, maybe okay. But they use all the good water, I don’t know.
ER:894 Yeah. And now you seen how plenty Haoles, yeah, around here. Before not that much. Now
get plenty. Even plenty Haoles, they buy houses, yeah. So this, I know too much, but, only in me, I think. ’Cause I see the old people before, how they go, yeah, with the water, they take care the water.
GF:339 Yeah. I don’t know so much about that. I wasn’t in that co-op. I don’t want to be bound to
nobody. I wanted to be free. MM:372 And the cane, every place you cut, you going to lose some amount of juice. You know,
when you cut the cane, maybe two, three drop fall down. That’s that much you losing. But now, when the cutter go, we not talking about one cane or two cane or what. Thousands and thousands of cane, eh?
And every one get damage, you going to lose that much juice. That’s quite a bit, you know. That’s why in the mill, well, I don’t know much about mill. But in the mill, they say, the recovery is–you know, in the
end where they make the sugar like that–if they get 90 so many percent, 96 percent or 97 percent, they like to see that thing go more, 98 percent.
5.23.5.6 SAY mach There is a single canonical example of mach in combination with SAY:
172 JB:62 But because I have to, of this rough life that we have, and I have to quit school to take care
of my poor brothers and, I didn’t have sisters at the time. I only had my brother. And to be honest, I didn’t know about changing baby diapers and sewing clothes. The reason I don’t want to say it much,
because I felt so sorry of how we used to live. Pretty rough. Sometimes, I talk to people and they see me having a tears out. They know that I went through that rough life that nobody did go through the rough
life.
5.23.5.7 mach OF X There are several near-canonical examples of partitive mach:
AK:602 Most, majority of the customers is the ranch employees. But we have some outsiders. Sometimes they pay us the money, most time, they take the money down to the office. We don’t handle
too much of the money only. And after the month like that, then, when the ranch makes the check, then either I give me or give you for bring back to the boss. That’s how we do.
FD:286 We had so much of everything I can think of. The life we had before, I tell you, you
cannot compare with today. Food, so much. We raise our own chicken, and then ducks, and pigs, and everything you can think of. Raise everything. We had our own eggs. Chicken, we want to kill, every
week, almost every other day if we want to. Especially when we get family come. Oh, just call the chicken, and all the chicken come and we just grab ’em. Yeah, that’s true. You try ask Olepau.
GF:314 By the bags. You know, those days, taro was cheap; 50 cents a bag. And some people, they buy for 35 cents a bag but my father-in-law paid me pretty good; 50 cents a bag. Then every year come
up, little by little; and I used to sell him the taro. Until he had too much of his own, he cannot take from me. Then I sell ’em to somebody else.
MT:1170 Yeah. Now, it’s 25 feet wide. Because this is the main stream, see. And I had the soil Conservation build a bank over here too. When we had the high and stuff, used to go all overflow into
here. So this bank is where yet, but this thing is 25 feet wide. So now, these people water going down here, certain times real little. But they don’t want I touch here. So I want to keep this little so much of
the water goes down through this main stream. Now, I can’t do it.
MT:1187 On this same thing, I going try to put some other different type fertilizer on top of that. It cost money, you know. We doing our own experimenting at our own cost. Which is not supposed to be.
You have the University to do it, not us. But if you go everything through the University, you go broke. When you want to put so much of this, so much of that, so much of this. I can see if that patch has 200
bags and with all this different kind of chemicals and fertilizer, we come up with 300 bags. I can see a good way to look at it. But it doesn’t mean anything. You put in cost for nothing.
MY:1458 Yeah, Kiakahi. Then you have the Lau family. Then you have the school there. Waikiki School was there after that. On this side, you had the old cottages there. That people just stayed and, you
know, it’s not a residence there, only cottages, old cottages there. So, we don’t know much of them.
NC:133 Yeah, the rice with the husks. They get one big wooden. I don’t know what you call it.
Anyway, that one he take off so much of the husks and then he have to use the strainer like that and strain the rice, no husk go down. And whatever the ones with still the husks on you throw off one side.
And the one without the husks, that’s the one they put in that big container. WK:702 I hate to say but Waipio, those days, the food used to be very cheap. So we buy salt
salmon, cod fish and dry shrimp and corned beef. Corned beef, you can buy ’em, 10 cents a can, 15 cents. But not too much. Not too much. We don’t eat too much. But more we eat on, like for instance, as
long as we have sugar, poi and oil. Those days we used to buy peanut oil. Never had such thing as Wesson Oil, or the kind. Or lard, they have the canned lard. As long we buy that. We have that all
storage in the house. We set already, we can use all this stuff. We don’t, buy too much of the meat. We don’t eat meat too much before. Hardly eat meat.
