Here are some examples:
* Pa'a i ka mana'o - Firm in one's belief
* Pa'a i ka 'āina - Strong in the land (referring to a deep connection to the land)
* Pa'a ka hale - The house is solid/stable
The word "pa'a" can also be used figuratively to describe someone who is determined or resolute.
It's important to note that the pronunciation of "pa'a" is slightly different from the English "pa-a". The "a" in "pa'a" is pronounced like the "a" in "father".
