ʻĀhaʻi ʻŌlelo Ola | Ke Au o Ka Hula, Part 1 (English Subtitles)

[@WilFreeD68]

I've learned so much with your video about Hula history ! it's giving me a better understanding of the deep relation between Mele which i intuitivly knew and evry move which is applying to the words.. I Love to hear you talk, sounds like i am Hawaaian too in my Heart ! So much Aloha 🌸 💚 Greetings from France 💙 “I” come forth from the void into light, Pua mai au mai ka po iloko o ka malamalama, “I” am the breath that nurtures life, Owau no ka ha, ka mauli ola, “I” am that emptiness, that hollowness beyond all consciousness, Owau no ka poho, ke ka’ele mawaho a’e o no ike apau. The “I”, the Id, the All. Ka “I”, Ke Kino Iho, na Mea Apau. “I” draw my bow of rainbows across the waters, Ka a’e au “I” ku’u pi’o o na anuenue mawaho a’e o na kai a pau, The continuum of minds with matters. Ka ho’omaumau o na mana’o ame na mea a pau. “I” am the incoming and outgoing of breath, Owau no ka “Ho” a me ka “Ha”, The invisible, untouchable breeze, He huna ka makani nahenahe, The undefinable atom of creation. Ka “Hua” huna o Kumulipo. “I” AM THE “I”. Owau no ka “I”. 🌈

I wish I would've took the time to learn the language.

[@zikomo4news]

Still can

[@youmakeitreal]

I am listening now because I am just starting. I am using duolingo. Next year I want to listen to this conversation and see how much I understand. It this point it is very difficult, but I'm determined

[@RoxanneUbaldo]

​@@youmakeitreal Good luck

[@youmakeitreal]

@@RoxanneUbaldo having difficulties duo seems to think Hawaiian culture is a Christian culture. I am not sure this is correct. There a considerable amount of Christian religious content being forced. It is really odd, but not really considering the insecure nature of that religion.

[@GreeneyedApe]

@@youmakeitreal Of course the traditional culture is not Christian, but in the present day Hawaii is majority Christian and the religion has had its influence, which should not be surprising. That's true across all Oceanic regions. Have you ever been to Hawaii? You can see the influence of Christianity on display in many places.

[@Avdlp]

it's a wonderful language, but until now I haven't been able to find a video of spoken hawaiian that has not an evident american english influence to it, so I fear its original pronounciation is gone forever

[@wiredforstereo]

Well, yeah. Native speakers on Niʻihau speak a functionally different language.

[@kierrapittman859]

Look up Ka Leo Hawaii. It was a radio program from the 70s that featured native speakers. It's available online.

[@Avdlp]

​@@kierrapittman859 thank you very much for the tip I will look up 👌🏼

[@Emsyaz]

Such a cute language

[@christianmoore2956]

Wow amazing

[@jonahpalomata8130]

that's good even though you're part of the united state you preserve your culture and language ❤ in 1930's Hawaii Philippines and mariana island is part of US territory but luckily Philippines is independent in 1946 from US

[@StatusVolt-hi3ft]

I came here to confirm what Jo Koy saying is true. 😅

[@elijahsherwood2901]

Google can't translate 😆

[@AR-ek1jr]

Idk why but it sounds like a made up language. .

[@kanakaoiwi1609]

It's an old language, way before American English.

[@RarityJ]

All languages are made up.

[@enricobianchi4499]

it doesn't have any sibilants!

[@catinabox3048]

Because very very few people speak Hawaiian as their native language. Those who speak it usually only do so in order to preserve the language, and not because it's the language they grew up speaking. So it's lost a lot of the naturalness that comes with a language evolving over time by means of conversation and communication. People who use it use a version that they learn artificially through an English-speaking setting, having only ever heard it spoken with an American accent.

Primitive language
