Nā ʻAmi (Prepositions) Flashcards

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 12:00:00 PST

In Hawaiian, an iʻoa, papani, or kaʻi plus memeʻa sequence is preceded by an ʻami. The ʻami connects the words that follow it to something else. You can only use one ʻami at a time before a word.

Nā ʻAʻano (Conditions/Adjectives) Flashcards

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 12:00:00 PST

There is a broad category of hua‘ölelo Hawai‘i called meme‘a, and these include hua‘ölelo such as kikino (thing type words), ‘a‘ano, as well as hamani and hehele.

‘A‘ano are hua‘ölelo that follow the words that they describe. They are similar to English adjectives, but while adjectives appear before the English hua‘ölelo they describe, ‘a‘ano follow them. For example: ke keiki maika‘i = the good child.

Hamani are actions done to someone or something. Hehele are other actions, that is, those actions which are not done to someone or something. In English, all of these words could be called "verbs," but Hawaiian often makes fine distinctions in hua‘ölelo based on these classifications that are not as clearly made in English.

Nā Iʻoa (Place & Person Names) Flashcards

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 12:00:00 PST

I‘oa are an ‘ano (type) of hua‘ölelo Hawai‘i that include inoa of places and people, such as those shown below. There are also some special hua‘ölelo, such as wai (who) that are also i‘oa. I‘oa and their use in the analula (sentence structure rules) will be a major focus of this chapter.

In Hawaiian a major cultural feature is the importance of the names of people and places. Some inoa can be kapu and only used by certain people. The word wai is a special i‘oa, one that is not a person's or place's name. There are not many of this type of i‘oa.

Nā Huahelu (Numbers) Flashcards

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 12:00:00 PST

There are two different ways to represent numbers ma ka ‘olelo Hawai‘i (in the Hawaiian language):

1. as a specific number, such as a page number, chapter number, car number (in a race),
or
2. as an amount

The number one is ‘ekahi ('I am reading chapter ‘ekahi of this book'), while stating one as an amount is ho‘okahi ('This book has only ho‘okahi chapter!'). Numbers two through nine are the same whether they representing the number or an amount. Ten and greater also remain the same, except that amounts are preceded by he.
