Oh and when Keola Donaghy emailed me about #hulihua, he said he is working on a new #hawaiianLanguage game and he kindly shared the link for beta play! He says there’s still a bug he is working on so play at your own risk!

Today is the birthday of Mary Kawena Pukui, b. April 20, 1895 #olelonoeau #maryKawenaPukui #adage #wiseSaying #hawaiianLanguage #olelo #OleloHawaii

We all learn the word “kahakō” meaning “macron,” the bar over the long vowel (as in its own final letter). But it also means “steep, sheer” as in this ʻŌlelo Nōʻeau:
“1527 Ka pali kahakō lele a koa‘e.
Sheer cliff reached only by the tropic bird.
A tall, inaccessible cliff.”

every weekend I listen to an episode of Ka Leo Hawaiʻi and usually can only pick up the general topic and words here and there, but in this one, they told two different tiny stories about how Kāneʻohe got its name, and I understood them both! (I think. He haumāna wale nō au...)

In the Fall 2024 Audubon magazine is an interesting article about a bird researcher who’s cataloging and photographing specimens of Hawaiian birds which are in non-Hawaiian museums. The reference to an ʻōlelo noʻeau caught my eye. Interesting! #olelonoeau #maryKawenaPukui #adage #wiseSaying #hawaiianLanguage #olelo #OleloHawaii #audubon #extinction
#HawaiianPublicRadio didn’t post today’s #hawaiianWordOfTheDay so instead of sharing that, I’ll share my new favorite ʻŌlelo Noʻeau!
I kāhi ‘e no ke kumu mokihana, paoa ‘e no ‘one‘i i ke ‘ala.
Although the mokihana tree is at a distance, its fragrance reaches here.
Although a person is far away, the tales of his good deeds come to us.

Once a week while working in the kitchen I listen to an episode of Ka Leo Hawaiʻi to accustom my ear to the sounds of native speakers. I canʻt follow much, but I understand the topic at least. This episode talks about being a "mālama puke" (lit. "take care of book") which at first I thought meant "librarian" but shortly I realized he was a bookkeeper. Lots of numbers in this episode if you want to practice listening to nā helu!! #hawaiianLanguage #kaleohawaii https://ulukau.org/kaniaina/?a=d&d=A-KLH-HV24-057&e=-------en-20--1--txt-tpIN%7ctpTI%7ctpTA%7ctpCO%7ctpTY%7ctpLA%7ctpPR%7ctpSG%7ctpTO%7ctpTG%7ctpSM%7ctpTR%7ctpET%7ctpHT%7ctpDT%7ctpMG%7ctpSS%7ctpCL%7ctpLO--------------------
ʻŌlelo Noʻeau number 2024: Luahine moe nonō. (Old woman who sleeps and snores.) Pele, who is said to sleep in lava beds. #olelonoeau #maryKawenaPukui #adage #wiseSaying #hawaiianLanguage #olelo #oleloHawaii #lava #volcano
In #Hawaiian class this week, we discussed this #oleloNoeau and one student said it’s like the English “Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched!” (Excerpt From ‘Ōlelo No‘eau Mary Kawena Pukui & Dietrich Varez) #hawaiianLanguage #olelo #oleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #olelonoeau #maryKawenaPukui #adage #wiseSaying

In Hawaiian there’s also rules about whether to use “ka” or “ke” for “the,” and similarly there are exceptions. For example since “ʻeke” starts with the letter ʻokina, it ought to use “ka” but it actually uses “ke” instead. It would be nice if Drops also was able to help drill the correct article to use in Hawaiian! (3/3)

In Spanish there are exceptions to the rule of thumb that if it ends in the letter “o”, it uses “el”, for example, it’s “la mano” not “el mano.”

I started the Spanish course in Drops and noticed that it includes the definite article with each noun, for example “el pan” (literally, “the bread”). This is helpful for the language learner because in Spanish “the” depends on the “gender” of the noun. However, the Hawaiian course doesn’t show the associated definite article.

This Hawaiian word is weirdly similar to an English equivalent, by coincidence (I assume? I could be wrong!! But Wehewehe usually says “Eng” if it’s a borrowed word):
like (pronounced “lee-kay”) - equal, similar or LIKE #hawaiianLanguage #olelo #oleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #language
