Common Words & Phrases
Aloha! Hello/Goodbye
Aloha really means love, and as far as Hawaiian society is concerned both arrivals and departures are perfect times to remind one another of this pleasant emotion.
An older greeting is welina (salutations).
Aloha wau iā ‘oe. I love you.
(e komo) mai welcome
E komo mai really means welcome, means welcome as in "welcome to my home" and cannot be used in response to someone thanking you. Use ‘ae (yes) for that.
Literally, e komo mai means enter this way!
Pehea ‘oe? How are you?
Maika‘i au. I am well.
Maika‘i (good) can be replaced by a number of other states of being such as kaumaha (sad/depressed), māluhiluhi (tired), ma‘i (ill), etc.
oia mau [I feel] same as always
(e) kala mai excuse me/sorry
• also: kala mai ia‘u
Auē! Gosh!
Ano ‘ē! (Weird!/How strange!) is a similar interjection.
(e) ‘olu‘olu (‘oe) please
Literally, this phrase means: be nice, you!
Whenever e ‘olu‘olu ‘oe does not begin a sentence it is pronounced with a k in front of it: ...ke ‘olu‘olu ‘oe
• also: ‘olu‘olu mai
mahalo thanks
‘a‘ole pilikia not a problem
Notice that ‘a‘ole (not), is pronounced like ‘a‘ale even though it is not written that way.
‘A‘ole pilikia is often used to express you're welcome in response to mahalo. Older speakers might say ‘a‘ohe pilikia (no problem) instead.
ā hui hou until we meet again
