Olelo hawaiian
Vowels: A, e, i , o, u, and the o'kino mark ( ' )
it is similiar to the japanese function of the hirigana and the
vowel system:
Amea = and
anei = is
ia = be
ko = of
ua = for
ke/ka = the
are some other useful hawaiian olelo markers when making a sentence
O , Ke, E , Ka, can be used when starting a sentence just knowing the funtions
will help with the proper useage...
It also similiar to mandarian and how it is used you can mean something
completely different when you say the word if the pitch or tone is not said
in a direct way. The hawaiian language has similiarities to East Asian
sino languages. You will learn this as you learn along...
Mahalo nui!...

Lets learn "Olelo hawaiian"
So I decided I would teach the
average person some easy words
in olelo hawaiian:
A'u = I
O wao no = myself
oe= you
ke/ka= the
poe= people
kela = that
maka'i no= doing good
keia = this
keia la= this day
nani = pretty
So now lets make an easy sentence out of
those words I just posted always either use
an E, or O when starting a sentence.
E 'O wao no maka'i no keia la: Myself doing
good today, or doing good today.
It's almost like talking hawaiian pidgin.
The hawaiian language is similiar to Japanese or
Mandarian. In such that Subject,object , verb.
And that like mandarian a certain pitch or o'kino
mark can make or break a sentence.
Once you get to know the language fully you will
maopopo (understand) and then eventually ike to
really know the olelo (language).
Now try it yourself and see how well you do with the
words I have given you , in the next lesson I will teach
you numbers...
