Hawaiian 101
The Hawaiian language consists of 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u), 7 consonants (h, k, l, m, n, p, v) and 1 glottal stop ('). The consonants are pronounced very much like they are in English. The vowels are pronounced as follows:
a = ah as in "blah."
e = ay as in "hay."
i = ee as in "jeep."
o = oh as in, well as in "oh."
u = ooh as in "ooh-la-la."
And remember, every letter is pronounced. A'a = "ah, ah." Incidentally, a'a means rough, stony and usually refers to the rough and sharp type of lava as opposed to pahoehoe, the smooth type of lava, also found in Hawaii. Click here for a Wiki Wiki (quick) Hawaiian Language Lesson.
*kamaaina means long time resident of the islands. For purposes of receiving a kamaaina discount, usually refers to having a Hawaii Driver's License.
