Olelo hawaiian

Things to remember about 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...
