This is very interesting. Didn’t know this about the word aloha

Mahalo no teia wikio e palala. Ke Ho’oma’a nei wau I ta ‘Ōlelo Hawai’i piha no ku’u ‘Ohana. E lohe mai ia’u ka leo kūpuna me ‘oe, piha no ho’i. Mahalo iā’oe no ka ho’omau ana I ka ‘Ōlelo kūpuna a me nā leo Maoli. Mahalo ia lakou no ka hana pono i ho’omau no matou.

I hear this split across Molokai where theyʻll either say it with or without the ʻokina. I think it was when it was put into writing it went through a lot of changes and the ʻokina got added. I donʻt remember it too well anymore though.

Mahalo nui loa for taking Your time with Me to help Me understand the process.. of Brad Pitt’s raging”… of all of the Aloha 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Omg! We are related. My great grandparents, great aunties and uncles are from Kahana and that is the grave in Kahana, where they passed away from the hurricane on April Fools’ Day 1946. Everyone thought the hurricane was a April fools joke.

Manaia tele le fa’alogo atu i le gagana fa’a Hawaii. Hope more Hawaiians will learn and speak their olelo Hawaii ❤

Mahalo, @ka_alala and Keao NeSmith for sharing your ohana moʻolelo.

A very enjoyable two part interview.

REAL WALA'AU KANAKA IA CONVERSATIONAL NOT FOR WRITTEN. EVERYONE WHO LEARNED VIA UNIVERSITY GOT MORE LOST FROM THE GRAMMAR BEING ADDED. FOR LEARN FASTER, YOU GUYS WHO IS FROM HAWA'I, THINK PIDGIN HAOLE 1ST, THE USE THAT FOR WALA'AU.

Thats me lol😢...ke ao nei au i ke olelo hawaii but hillahila au because even if Kaimi put himself at level 1 (which I don't like doing number levels either lol) then I guess I'd put myself at like .00001 😅

beautiful kahana, the piko of Hawaii. This brings a tear to my eye. such a beautiful and important place, and one that holds some of my earliest memories. No place exemplifies "aina" like this. mahalo nui.

Maita’i nui no ta ite o teia moolelo waiwai teia ite. Mahalo nui

What a beautiful language!

I’ve always been interested in the small details of functional language. Love hearing about moments like yours. Thank you 🤙🏾

❤❤❤❤

YES! Love the Keao videos! Not only is his expertise unmatched but his passion for the language as the way kupuna spoke is so evident and has been incredibly helpful on my own learning journey. One day I'm going to be able to read the novels he translated!

❤️💛💚❤️💛💚❤️💛💚👍🏾👍🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾✌🏾

🤎🤎🤎

This was very cool to see and hear. Although I lived in Hawaii for 22 years, I didn't hear Hawaiian spoken like this. Immersion schools were in their infancy at that time. Like most people, I learned specific Hawaiian words and phrases but not how to speak Hawaiian. If I can ever move back to the Islands, I think I would like to learn more olelo Hawaii. It is exciting to see the revival and perpetuation of the Hawaiian language, since it is so critical to the preservation of the Hawaiian culture. Without it Hawaii is not truly Hawaiian. It's just another beautiful place with some influences from a lost culture. What a shame it would be to lose such a rich and beautiful culture. Thank you for doing your part to keep it alive!🤙

❤❤❤

Laki ‘oe😊

I really wish this videos would blow up in the way they deserve to be!

Hoomau.

Mahalo nui ‘iā ‘oe Maluhia
