Hide what is the action

[Greg Dickens]

Is hide a ME or a Free action. Where in the books or SRD can I find the answer? What about the Hide in plain sight abllity?

The shadowdancer’s hide in plain sight ability is a
supernatural ability, so by definition it takes a standard
action to hide in plain sight, right? The monk’s speed
becomes a supernatural ability at 9th level. Does a monk
have to spend a standard action to move greater than 50
feet in one action?
Though supernatural abilities usually require a standard
action to use, a few of them do not. Hide in plain sight, for
example, works just like any other use of the Hide skill, so you
use it as a move action or as part of a move action.

This should clear things up.

Btw, notice that it is a or is part of a move action, not a MEA.
