Loa'a is a stative verb that means to find, get, obtain, or acquire something. It follows the subject-object word order of subject + i/ia + object. For example, "That money was earned by my son" would be "Ua loa'a kā lākou i ka u keiki kāne." Loa'a is also commonly used to express the idea of "There is..." such as "Loa'a ka poi?" meaning "Is there any poi?". When discussing illness, loa'a is used to say that one is "gotten by" an illness rather than having it, since illness is not usually sought.
The document discusses the Hawaiian grammar pattern for stative verbs (a anoʻ ʻ) which follow the pattern of Subject + i/iā + Object.

When using a ano, the subject will be preceded by i or iā and i/iā can be translated as "by, because of, with, from, etc.". Several examples are provided to illustrate how to identify the subject, stative verb, and object and translate sentences following this pattern into Hawaiian.
