Unpacking into invisibility? The packing that you don't see. The suitcase with the false compartment. The secret space behind the bookshelf...

How about implying something?

He mea reka te huka?
Is the sugar a sweet thing?

Mea or thing is redundant. Let's make it invisible. Let's imply it, let's embed it.

He reka te huka?
Is the sugar sweet?

Packing things back in- you can add to the meaning of the noun if you want

He aahua reka.
A bit sweet.
He aahua reka te huka
The sugar is a bit sweet

He mea kawa te inu?
Is the drink a sour thing?

He kawa te inu?
Is the drink sour?

He aahua kawa te inu
The drink is a bit sour

or

He reka rawa te inu?
Is the drink too sweet?

He kawa rawa te inu?
Is the drink too sour?
