Until pidgin (Hawaiian pigeon, pidgen, pidgin, pidgeon, pidgon, pigen, pigon, pegion etc.) and English supplanted it, Hawaiian was the native language of each of the inhabited Hawaiian islands, Mokumanamana (Necker Island), Nihoa, Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii. The Hawaiian word for "big" and "large" is "Nui" and the plural is "Nunui". The Hawaiian words for Island are "Moku" and "Mokupuni". In the Hawaiian language, the Hawaiian Islands are called, "Ko Hawaii Pae Aina" or "Ko Hawai'i Pae 'Aina". Today, however, native Hawaiian is spoken only on Niihau as the everyday tongue. Hawaiian Pidgin is also known as Hawaiian Creole English, Hawaiian Creole, Hawaii Creole, Islands Dialect, and Hawaiian English, though some consider "Pidgin" to be slang, local jargon and informal vernacular and in Hawaii Pidgin is sometimes referred to slangily as "slangs", which it is. Da kine (dakine) English words acquire choke entirely different meanings when used on top of the slangs; it's da bomb - shoots! "Da bomb (dabomb) means "the best" in pidgin and shoots is an expression of extreme agreement such as "right on", so shoots means "you bet", "right on", "absolutely" and "ain't it grand" and "it's great" as well as "wow" and "A-OK, I approve wholeheartedly".

In Hawaiian Pidgin, the most common great greeting is "Howzit?" and the proper response is "Howzit?". Any other response let's the person who is greeting you know you're not a local.
Like the many words for "friends", in the Hawaiian language, there are many ways to express words describing family members and families in Hawaiian. What is the Hawaiian word for friend? How do you say "friend" in Hawaiian? Let me count the ways! Hoaloha, hoaaloha, makamaka; aikâne (aikane); hoa pili (hoapili) (intimate, personal, close friend); hoa. Also: hoalauna, makamaka hânai, ʻaikapa, (aikapa) pilialo, pili mua, lawakua, lehua, hale aikâne (aikane), 'au ko'i (au koi), pili, kou. My friend, ko'u hoaloha (kou hoaloha), ko'u makamaka (kou makamaka), ka'u aikâne (kau aikane). Friend as close as a relative and treated as such, hale aikâne (hale aikane). To make friends, ho'ohoa (hoohoa), ho'âikâne (hoaikane), ho'ohoaloha (hoohoaloha). A friend, a nest of fragrance, he aikâne (he aikane) "he pûnana na ke onaona" (he punana na ke onaona). "Ohana" is the Hawaiian word for family. "Ka Ohana" means family in Hawaiian and "Ka Ohana Kupe" includes previous generations in one locale. The extended family in Hawaiian is, "Ka Ohana Holookoa" (Ka 'Ohana Holo'oko'a). For definitions and meanings of the Hawaiian words for individual family members, click here.

Da kine (dakine) is Hawaiian Pidgin. Dakine is a variation of "the kind". What does "da kine" (dakine) mean in Hawaiian? It's an all-purpose catchphrase similar to mainland American slang catchphrases. The Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary defines "catchphrase" as: "a word or expression that is used repeatedly and conveniently to represent or characterize a person, group, idea, or point of view". Catchprases are frequently used when the speakers can't think of the proper or accurate words to describe the specific thing they mean. An American might ask, "Where did I put the thingamabob?" (thingamajig - thingamajigee - thingamajigy) or "What happened to the whatchamacallit?" (Whatsit - doodad - thingy - gizmo) A Hawaiian, meaning the same thing, might say, "Where did I put da kine (dakine)?" or "What happened to da kine (dakine)?" But, "da kine" (dakine) has broader meanings. Mainland Americans might ask, "Have you seen whatshisname (or whatshername) lately? Hawaiians would ask, "Have you seen da kine (dakine) lately?" Others may ask, "Have you got five dollars?" The response they get might be, "No" while the response from a Hawaiian might be, "No more da kine (dakine)" meaning s/he doesn't have five dollars. Da Kine (dakine) is pidgin Hawaiian and can also act as a placeholder similar and synonymous to slang words such as "whatsit", "gizmo", "widget", "doodad" and can be subsituted for anyplace, anytown, anywhere. Da Kine is a substitute for "the kind".
The word "choke" is an adjective which means a large number and a large amount. "There were choke people at the paina (pa'ina)." Paina (pa'ina) means "party" in Hawaiian. The Hawaiian words for "choke" are 'Umi and Laoa. "There were choke people at the party" means there were a lot of people at the party. Of course if there are choke, choke people, it might be a festival, which is a Hoolaulea (Ho'olaule'a). People who have "choke" money, have a lot of money. People who have choke money have choke kala. Kala means "money" in Hawaiian, poe (po'e) means people. There are choke ways to use "choke". Kane means man, kanaka means men, wahine means woman and women, keiki means child (kid) and kamalii (kamali'i) means children (kids). Pa'u (pau) means finished, completed, ended, done, as in pau hana which means finished work for the day. The Hawaiian word for white people, caucasians from the mainland and people of European descent is Haole, sometimes misspelled as Howlie and is pronounced Howlee.

Hawaiian Language Lessons

Originally, the Hawaiian language did not have an alphabet (alphebet, alfabet). An alphabet was assigned by missionaries who arrived in Hawaii in the early 1800s. The Hawaiian alphabet consists of only 12 letters: A, E, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, U and W. While there are twelve letters in the Hawaiian alphabet, there are 18 single vowel sounds in the Hawaiian language. But, before we mention the sounds we should first pursue what is called the 'okina (also indicated as an `okina and pronounced oh-kee-nuh) which is a glottal stop or a break in the sound, such as the American slang expression, "oh-oh" which in Hawaiian would be written: "o'o". The straight line (macron) above a letter in English indicates the letter should be pronouced as a long vowel, that is, pronounced the same as the pronunciation of the letter itself. In Hawaiian, the macron is called kahakō or "mekona". They do NOT indicate that the vowel should be pronounced in long form. The 18 single vowel sounds are as written in Hawaiian (but not pronounced the same as in English) are as follows: the vowels with straight lines above them are to be elongated in speech, such as: ā pronounced as "ah" or more accurately "ahh, this is heaven"; ē which is pronounced as the words "hey" [he-e-ey] and "eh" [aaaaay]; ī is an elongated "E" as in see queen bee [seee queeen beee]; ō is an elongated "O" as in "oh, no"; and ū as in an elongated "oo" sound as in "moon", "oops, shoots" [ooooops, shooootz]; a is pronounced as the "A" in the word "above" [schwa] and the two "A" sounds in America; e as in "eh" and sled; "I" is pronounced as "ee" as in "teen bee", but not elongated as in ē; "O" is pronounced as in "oh, OK and obey"; "U" is pronounced as "oo" as in rule soon moon, but not as elongated as ō as well as the consonants h, k, l, m, n, p, w, and w as sounded like "v". "W" is frequently pronounced as "V" as in victory and Keawe. To see the "Hawaiian Alphabet Song" - a childrens' song composed by (Mary) Kawena Pukui to teach her grandchildren to learn the Hawaiian alphabet, click here. There are also diphthongs in Hawaiian: "ai" sounds like the "i" in "ice" as does "ae"; "ao" sounds like the "ow" in "how" as does "au"; "ei" sounds like the "ei" in chow mein, i.e. the pronunciation of the letter "a"; "eu" sounds like the letters "a" and the "oo"-sound in "moon" run together; "iu" sounds like the "ew" in "few"; ou sounds like the letter "o" and "ui" sounds like the word "we".
Hawaiian Pidgin has added many more letters and sounds, such as "T" for tita (sister), "B" for brah, (brutha) and "D" for dakine (the kind) and da bus (the bus) - not to be confused with "all buss up" meaning all busted (broken) up. Shoots, cuz! (cousin - even one Calabash cousin)

FIRST 101 HAWAIIAN WORDS
The first 101 words to learn in Hawaiian - or any language! Things such as "please", "good morning", "excuse me", "you're welcome" [erroneously "your welcome"], "who, what, when, where, why, how", "eat, food, drink, water", "buy, sell", and so forth, click here. In the Hawaiian language there's no literal equivalent or translation to "You're welcome" as a response to "Thank you". The Hawaiian word for "thanks" is "Mahalo", and "Mahalo ia oe" for "thank you" [mahalo iâ `oe]) and the proper response is not the same as the "You're welcome" which means your presence is welcomed here. A Hawaiian welcome mat reads: "E Komo Mai". So, the customary responses to "thanks" (mahalo), "thank you" (mahalo ia oe) are "A ole pilikia" [`A `ole pilikia] for "no problem" or "no trouble"; "Ka hauoli nau" [Ka hau`oli na`u] which means, "the pleasure is mine"; or simply "He mea iki" meaning "a trifle".

Mako Mano - The Hawaii Shark Page

"Mako" is the Hawaiian word for "shark". Hawaiians also use the word "mano" for various kinds of sharks, such as Mano kihikihi for hammerhead sharks. Other examples of the use of "mano" are Mano Lalakea for White Tip Reef Shark and Mano Niuhi for both Great White Shark and Tiger Shark because they are both man-eating sharks and were also eaten by Hawaiian men in times past (women were forbidden to eat shark meat). One species of shark common in Hawaiian waters as well as being found worldwide is called the "Mako Shark". You are invited to visit the Sharks webpage to read general information and see many photographs regarding the forty plus species of sharks found in Hawaiian waters. The sharks in the ocean surrounding Hawaii pose little threat to human beings. Incidents are rare and occasionally the victims have not taken proper precautions. The sharks that have been responsible for the most hazards in Hawaii have been the galapagos sharks, scalloped hammerhead sharks, gray reef sharks and tiger sharks. While great white sharks can be dangerous, they do not frequent Hawaiian waters in great numbers because of their feeding habits which keep them in the open seas.
