I’m actually from Hawaii I was from the island O’ahu and born in the city Honolulu, I am trying to learn how to speak. Hawaiian because I own when I was born there my mom and my dad were there for overseas because my dad was military. I was born at the pink hospital in Honolulu for only army people, so Hawaii is my culture, I really really love that I’m born from here. It is home to me and I got a couple things from it. I love to swim and I love the ocean and I really really love Hawaii and still trying to learn some of my words.

[@brokebackstunts9582]

You can be born there, you can speak the language. YOU can’t and will never be Hawaiian it is not your culture.

[@kanoawai]

Doesn’t make it your culture cause your born in Hawai’i your a local. Your not kanaka maoli unless you have koko(blood) Polynesian descent

[@Livingtheglobe]

Thank you for sharing

[@Kilehune]

Unfortunately being born in Hawaii doesn’t make it your culture. However just because it isn’t your culture by blood doesn’t mean you can’t have a connection with the culture. Considering you were born and raised in O’ahu and that you’re taking the time to learn to speak the Ōlelo, not many people do that you know. It’s clear to say you’ve definitely formed that connection with the culture. However I suggest going to Camp Palehu, Ka’ala farms, or some other place that involves ‘āina preservation. It’s wonderful to see people making that connection with the culture even if they’re not connected to it by ancestry. And taking care of the land can make you feel even a deeper connection with the land. People tell me I just have green thumbs, but generally I hate getting filthy and taking care of the land changed that for me. I love caring for the ‘āina. So if you’re looking to deepen that bond you already feel with the culture, I suggest doing some malama ‘āina.

You born at Tripler!

Howzit? I love your videos. I am a kama’āina stuck in the mainland (NYC) and my ohana lives in O’ahu and Kaua’i. I cannot visit because of the quarantine. Your videos have enabled me to see how things are going during this crisis period. Mahalo nui loa. Stay well and enjoy. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Mahalo and bless ❤️

I love Hawaiian language 🌺.Thank you for teaching🌺

[@Livingtheglobe]

It is awesome! :) You are welcome!

[@Kilehune]

Auwe! Wonderful pronunciation you two! The only suggestion I have is being careful on how you drag out some sounds. I understand slowing it down so people can understand it, but if you drag out certain sounds it changes the meaning because it seems like you have a kahakou over the vowels. And another suggestion is when you say aloha, be wary of dragging out that o. I hear some people saying Alooowha. So try and keep that l and o sort of blending together. Edit: I made this early on in watching the video and I’m so sorry I saw you guys mentioning this exact same thing when pronouncing Mahalo, but I hope it’s okay that I keep this up for others who may need an example of what dragging out the sound in a word could do.

Hello from the uk, my parents called me Lani, and i have always been told that it was Hawaii for sky or heaven. Everyone pronounces it as lar-ny (lani) and i really want to onow if this translation is accurate and how it wohkd be said in your country... thank you :)

The whole video I was thinking your backdrop looked familiar from going up Olomana. Can’t wait till travel opens up again and I can get back to one of the few places outside Sydney that feels like a home. .

[@Livingtheglobe]

Cn't wait for travels to resume as well we were just in Sydney in Feb. loved it there, we have a few vlogs while we were there. Have you seen them? kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5OldYmerKynbLM

[@quickdry3]

Just Be Out ha, that’s when we were last on Oahu - it’s like a cultural exchange program :) (I just watched it, in the spirit of language pronunciation instruction: Aussie is pronounced “Ozzy”, like Ozzy Osborne). Looking forward to the next episode :)

[@PracticalPerry]

I don't want to speak Pidgeon, I want to learn and speak Hawaiin. I am learning Hawaiin on DuoLingo and on KZbin. ; ) Ku Kia'i Kapu Mauna Kea. Besides ALOHA you may say WELINA when you greet someone in Hawaii.

I respect your People so much. I am opening a beauty salon (massage, lashes, hair) and would like to honor your People with a name of my salon that comes from Hawaiian. Any Word, as long as it has a melody kind of sound, and is easy to remember and Say in europe. I love Mahalo but there is too much salons with this name. I was thinkimg about Mahala beauty (not sute if its hawaian? Can i please ask for a suggestion? 💖💖💖💖 I would do greatly appreciate it. Peace and love to all💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🌻🌻🌻🌻🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

Hi, sorry it is hard to suggest. I recommend google translate so you will have a meaningful name not just a word

We are not a Hawaii University and do not teach how to properly pronounce and speak a foreign language. This a compilation of words tourists will see when they visit

Foreigners teaching our language 😂

[@Livingtheglobe]

We do not teach. There are just common words tours will hear or see and the meaning

@@Livingtheglobe make no sense you just made a video telling people the words of olelo. Your a foreigner have a kanaka teach it. Haole

No, def use them. Immerse yourself in the culture.
