[@professorlove5541]

Polynesian words having the form of consonant-(short)vowel-consonant-(short)vowel are stressed on the penult. So the sounds of MEHA in isolation are méha. Reduplication makes that méheméha. KA, which begins many of these names, is simply a determiner (article), roughly equivalent to English "the," and it takes no stress. So Kámehámehá isn't so good, and Kaméhaméha is better. Incidentally, mehameha means 'silent, solitary, lonely; silence, solitariness, loneliness', apparently making his name mean something like 'The Silence', 'The Solitary One', and so forth. Most Polynesian names have semantic meaning like that.

[@timvanrijn8239]

doesnt Kaméhaméha get that name from the fact he was kind scary to his ''king'' making him heir to the postion of the war gods keeper and isolating him from the court?

[@despaahana]

You are correct on the pronunciation. All Hawaiian names have semantic meaning. Kamehameha is usually translated as "the lonely one" I don't know if he was named the lonely one because he was the guardian of the war-god Kū or not.

Prince Kūhiō, like his brother David Kawānanakoa, were both considered eligible heirs to the throne at the time of the overthrow.

Hawaii is not “a part” of the United States. The US is illegally occupying Hawaii.

[@despaahana]

Your pronunciation of most of the vowels are correct as the vowels make the same sound every time. Where you get it wrong is where the stresses are. Such as where dragon Ball z puts the stress on the ha in Kamehameha in Hawaiian the stress is on the me. There is also too much stress added on the i in the word kuhina. Also you're inconsistent on where the 'okina occurs and where it doesn't but it always exists wherever two of the same vowels are seen together, whether or not it is printed. In the case of Ka'ahumanu's name, the 'okina was printed but was not pronounced. It is pronounced as a glottal stop. So the two A's in Ka'ahumanu are separated buy a glottal stop, not one sound

[@gregcarter8656]

Hawaiian has some words with consecutive identical vowels (aa, ee, ii, oo, uu). Thus, glottal stop does not always occur separating consecutive identical vowels. In fact, most long vowels in Hawaiian are essentially consecutive identical vowels. One could call them "double vowels" or "geminate vowels" (twin vowels). You can see some examples in the Pukui-Elbert Hawaiian Dictionary where both spellings are shown, such as uluulu and ulūlu.

[@despaahana]

@@gregcarter8656 because of the confusion between the two and because Hawaiian was printed without any grammatical marks for a long time, in modern Hawaiian when a word requires a stress on a vowel it there is always kahako used, never the double vowel as in the words that you gave as examples.

[@gregcarter8656]

@@despaahana The Hawaiian word HANA has 2 syllables: HA and NA. The 1st syllable is stressed, and the 2nd syllable is not stressed. The 1st syllable does not have a "kahakō", but it is stressed. So, a kahakō is NOT always used when a vowel is stressed. Same thing with the word ULU. My examples are from the Hawaiian Dictionary by Pukui and Elbert, page 370, left column, at the top, and again at the bottom. Look it up. Youʻll see. ULUULU is the reduplication of ULU. Same thing happens with OLO and OLOOLO (page 286).

[@despaahana]

@@gregcarter8656 the word Hana doesn't have a double vowel so my original point is still valid.

[@gregcarter8656]

@@despaahana ʻAʻole. He hewa kāu i kākau ai e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kahakō. Look at the words "hana" (work), and "Hāna" (a place on Maui). Both words have only one stress, and yet their pronunciations are DIFFERENT from each other. Also, in your original post, you said that stress is on "me" in "Kamehameha". That's pololei, but there is NO KAHAKŌ on "me". In addition, you wrongly said that "the vowels make the same sound every time". Itʻs well documented that Hawaiian "ʻa" is often OPTIONALLY raised to "o" when the "a" is right before a "u". For example, look at "Ke-au-hou" in the book Place Names of Hawaii. The authors noted that itʻs usually pronounced "Ke-ou-hou" because of "au" being pronounced "ou". In fact, many words in Hawaiian exhibit variant pronunciations with A or O. Another example is "kolohe" and "kalohe", meaning "rascal". You will find both forms in the Hawaiian Dictionary by Pukui and Elbert. There are many other examples. Hawaiian also has some variation of the vowels I and U, as seen in the word forms "imu" and "umu", meaning "earth oven". What do you even mean by your "original point"? Stresses? Kahakōs? ʻOkinas between identical vowels? What you wrote was wrong about all of those.

[@matthiasdvorsakhillebrand2393]

Hey Matt how about you do other videos on Polynesian kingdoms? There is so much to explore there, literally many kingdoms and genealogies: Tonga, Easter Island, the Saudeleur Dynasty, the Maori kings, the Kingdom of Tahiti, Rarotonga, Samoa, Wallis et Futuna, Kingdom of Fiji, the Kings of Palau, Niue, Nauru, etc...

[@decidedvoter08]

Aloha. I found this video from my cousin Maria below. I did not know about this video until just now from a link she shared on Facebook. I am a direct descendant of Keākealanikāne, the grandfather of Keākealaniwahine. The biggest problem I see with this chart is not showing Kalanikauleleiaiwi as a co-ruler alongside her brother Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku. Calling him Keawea II is perhaps accurate but not many know this designation. I am also listed as an 8th great grandson of Kamehameha I from his first marriage and first born, a daughter named Kahiliʻōpua on my grandmother's maternal line but on her paternal line she descended from the former wife of Kalaniʻōpuʻu, Kānekapōlei. She along with the half brother of my 5x great grandmother and a distant cousin named Nuaa, were responsible for the death of Captain Cook. Kamehameha I's father is still hotly debated. Some believe it is Keōua while others believe it was Kahekili II. His mother was Kekuʻiapoiwa II, the daughter of Haʻae-a-Mahi of the House of Mahi. He was the son of Kauaua-a-Mahi (one of my direct ancestors) and Kalanikauleleiaiwi making Kekuʻiapoiwa II a second cousin, 4 x removed. Hawaiian genealogy is not easy and it is never a good idea to use absolutes when discussing these lines, especially with certain figures. Many families still debate who is related to who and why. But that is the same even in England with the British Monarchy. I'll have to watch more a length and perhaps comment further. Mahalo!

[@TonyPstunts]

As a kanaka I totally appreciate your efforts to properly pronounce my papa olelo (mother language). A few tips. 1)When you see an ʻ called “okina”. It denotes a glottal stop in the pronunciation. Ex: Ahupua’a, pronounced (ahhoopoo-ah). Note the pause. 2) “Hina” is the name of a matron goddess and thus denotes femininity. Kamehameha I wife, Ka’ahumanu made herself Kuhina queen regent and head of the Hawaiian church after the great kings death. She abolished our kapu and replaced it with christianity. 3) Mahalo nui me ke hoaloha!

[@saraht9442]

This is like Egypt and other places. You can see the lightening of the family line as the Europeans enter. I find it funny that the people call themselves original inhabitants of the islands. King Kamehameha (1758) was a 7 foot tall great warrior who united the islands. Later, the trip to California was because Kalakua's health was had begun to fail. He started getting dreadfully sick after he was forced to sign a constitution at gunpoint by the European group of secret society men. and give up his monarchy. Keep in mind, this is after the Europeans brought small pox to Hawaii for at least the second time. They had succeeded in killing nearly all of the original Hawaiians and decided to import workers from Japan. That is when they brought in small pox. The Europeans formed a secret society to overthrow the monarchy, formed by Lauren Thurston. They were successful. By the way the missionaries had already seriously infiltrated the family line by taking the last kings sister. She married a European man who treated her terribly. The stealing of Hawaii is a horribly sad story, very much like the stealing of Australia, and Africa and so many other places.

The history given in the video is incomplete and suffers from inaccuracies. Many important points are omitted. E.g., it has no mention whatsoever of the sexual incest which was a KEY FEATURE OF HAWAIIAN MONARCHY. It did mention that Kamehameha the First (K-1) had "many wives", but did NOT mention that his sons inherited his wives. One of K-1's wives was Kekāuluohi. When K-1 died, she became the 5th wife of K-2. Later, she was mother of Lunalilo by yet another man, Kanaʻina. K-1's genetically highest ranking wife was Keōpūolani, because her mother and father were both nīʻaupiʻo (born from a brother-sister sexual union).

[@jonellejones6368]

May I offer a helpful critique here? I don't know where you learned to pronounce Hawai'ian names, but they were WRONG. I lived in Hawai'i for 3 years, in the late 1970s, and paid attention to the way their language was pronounced. Kamehameha's name is pronounced Ka-may-ha-may-ha, also, Kalakaua's name is pronounced Ka-la-cow-ah, and Liliokalani's name is Lily-oh-ka-la-knee. I'm sorry, but it really bothers me, when names and words in Hawai'ian are mispronounced--it drives me NUTS! Watching Hawai'ian, and Hawai'ian, and Hawai'Ian-based moves, like Aloha, Lilo and Stitch, and The Descendants, will help. Great timeline chart, though, and thank you!🌺

There is also Owana Salazar a native Hawaiian from the House of Laanui 5th-great-granddaughter of Kalokuokamaile, half-brother of King Kamehameha I. And besides why have Quentin who is a white American When we can have a Hawaiian native on the throne?

[@napili5470]

WOW, nice butchering of the Hawaiian Names. If You're going to tell the story at least learn the pronunciation of the names.

[@WreckageHunter]

I think there's no recording of a case of western imperialism as plain as Hawaii's case: A sovereign state that, despite "westernizing" itself and fashioning itself as a "western" national state, still got occupied and colonized by a foreign imperial power on economic interests.

[@keliihoomalukahalajr3734]

Correction: Hawaii is not a state. It is being illegally occupied by the US military.

[@zameize]

can you do genealogy of Indonesia local kingdoms such as Srivijaya or Majapahit? since nobody seems to know about these great kingdoms even though in the ancient time they ruled the spice route in Malacca (before being monopolised by the Portugese and the netherlands) and also ruled a great deal of regions in now known as south east asia.

[@kejargunung]

A Hawaiian King was once visited by a Malay Sultan from the state of Johore. Do you have the ancestral information of the Malay Sultans. There are not many records found on the origins of the Malays in Malaysia or Indonesia. But ironically these records of Malay Manuscripts were found in Russia. I find your work extremely interesting.Thanks

[@UltraGayTony]

Nice video! One of the spellings of the last house is probably wrong, I guess. You used Kawamamakoa as house name but Kawananakoa as last name.

If you want true facts on how Hawaii is still illegally occupied and is still the Hawaiian kingdom, please look up Keanu sai.

[@sunnysied713]

Dr. David Keanu Sai takes a revisionist approach to history because he wants to control the 'political narrative'. He continuously tries to retroactively apply today's laws to historical events that happened BEFORE the laws were created, which obviously cannot be done. All of his legal challenges and political gimmicks have failed. He's a liar, conman and a convicted felon who is leading a pol-sci, propaganda campaign to secede Hawai'i from the U.S. He has a lot to gain, especially as self-proclaimed, 'Regent Pro-Tem' of the 'Hawaiian Kingdom'.Lol. Dr. Sai hasn't won a single major legal victory in the past 30 years of his 'activism'. That guy's a con-man. And, no, Hawai'i isn't occupied, nor was it illegally annexed.

You should add the true story about how Queen Liliuokalani was imprisoned and how the monarchy and Hawaiian Kingdom government was illegally overthrown and how it was never Annexed but stolen by the United States

[@sunnysied713]

Queen Lili'uokalani tried to prorogate the legislature, abrogate the existing constitution, unilaterally create her OWN constitution, strengthen her autocratic powers and defend her revolution with military force, which was highly illegally and unconstitutional. Her political opponents found out about her secret scheme, organized, mobilized and lead a successful counter-revolution to overthrow her. Aloha 'Oe. Queen Lili'uokalani attempted a foolish power grab and it backfired on her badly. After 127 years, no U.S. or International Court has declared that the annexation was illegal.

You should do a research on the Maui Royal Family from the small Island called Manu’a in American Samoa currently they’re are members of the Royal Family in the Island and one of the Royal members was a Governor of American Samoa his name is Lolo Matalasi Moliga. I read a story about the Maui Royal Family from that small island in Manu’a it’s pretty cool that there are still member of the Royal Family out there.
