From a Hawaiian Class at Na Mea Hawaii

A place to learn Hawaiian.

Here is a page I found that lists Hawaiian words and their English translations. This page tells about Hawaiian. Here are some common Hawaiian words. This is a 27 page document of classic expressions titled Olelo Noeau Oahu, compiled by Manako Tanaka (PDF).
