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!...
