Much respect for your work and mahalo for what you do. I know nothing of Hawaiian language…. I noticed you pronounce the word “mai” like “may” in English, but I think I’ve heard it pronounced like “my”. Same with the word “Kai”, would it be pronounced, kay or ki with a long “i” sound?

young man trying to keep up❤

beautiful kahana, the piko of Hawaii. This brings a tear to my eye. such a beautiful and important place, and one that holds some of my earliest memories. No place exemplifies "aina" like this. mahalo nui.

Maita’i nui no ta ite o teia moolelo waiwai teia ite. Mahalo nui

What a beautiful language!

I’ve always been interested in the small details of functional language. Love hearing about moments like yours. Thank you 🤙🏾

❤❤❤❤

YES! Love the Keao videos! Not only is his expertise unmatched but his passion for the language as the way kupuna spoke is so evident and has been incredibly helpful on my own learning journey. One day I'm going to be able to read the novels he translated!

This was very cool to see and hear. Although I lived in Hawaii for 22 years, I didn't hear Hawaiian spoken like this. Immersion schools were in their infancy at that time. Like most people, I learned specific Hawaiian words and phrases but not how to speak Hawaiian. If I can ever move back to the Islands, I think I would like to learn more olelo Hawaii. It is exciting to see the revival and perpetuation of the Hawaiian language, since it is so critical to the preservation of the Hawaiian culture. Without it Hawaii is not truly Hawaiian. It's just another beautiful place with some influences from a lost culture. What a shame it would be to lose such a rich and beautiful culture. Thank you for doing your part to keep it alive!🤙

❤❤❤

Laki ‘oe😊

I really wish this videos would blow up in the way they deserve to be!

Hoomau.

Mahalo nui ‘iā ‘oe Maluhia

I’m listening Beastie.. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 AND DAMN DO I LOVE YOU SIR!!!!

Meikai. sometimes writers gotta misspell words if they wanna have it read right.

I really appreciate, you being you, and the food for thought. I am amongst a small of elder learners that learn online in different places and spaces, and a part of what I understand is the ʻlost generationʻ who is coming home to the olelo and restoring the broken line of native speakers, the first in my ohana to return to the olelo. In this, my perspective is, 3.5 years into the journey with teachers online, grammar books, video resources, looking at older texts, listening to the recordings, journaling, writing, studying mele forms, studying oli, that it seems most helpful to encourage every language learner to use whatever works for them, as an individual. For those of us, whom our ancestors planted us on the mainland (with more kanaka maoli living on the mainland than at "home") we do not have the luxury of being around families that come from an unbroken line of mana leo in the pae aina. How many are there? Maybe 500 or so from Niihau, other islands? I do not know. and Niihau is just ONE expression, when, the language varied from place to place, and also, amongst the social strata. We just do not have that luxury us kupuna who are planted in other lands, no access. We may find ourselves talking mostly to ourselves or speaking to people who are haole like ourselves just to get words out of our mouths. I personally have benefited GREATLY from the use of the kāhako and the ʻokina because it takes time and tremendous effort with an older brain to get to a place where one can understand context, and how context, well how the language flows in mele, in oli, in mana leo, in the written form, it is different. Even in the written form, how language is for the moʻolelo, how it is for telling about day to day things, the form seems different, how it is in newspapers, and with the newspapers having the religious propoganda with intentions to erase the Hawaiians. I totally get that there are nuances, and one must go to the voices of the land to catch that, but I am tremendously grateful for these modern markers. With that said, I love how much quicker it is to write without the ʻokina and the kahakō, and it is pretty cool to finally be arriving to a place where I can read outloud the texts without the modern markers. What I love about the essence of your work perhaps is this awareness that there exists the language in the walls of academia and schools, but then the language exists in families, in small communities. I hear stories of those who are mana leo speakers complaining about those who learn in schools not talking right, but where are these mano leo speakers to help those of us with NO OTHER option than to learn from grammar books and teachers who have been trained by colleges and other ways. Where are they stepping up to help us? If you arenʻt going to do anything to support, and only bad talk, I do not understand. it ignores kuleana, it ignores kapu aloha, it ignores many Hawaiian values. Keep up the great work! waiwai loa kau hana no hoi e!

Classic and elementary issues of linguistic evolution and language acquisition....a good example for beginner linguists

Mi gonna surprise my family back home in Hawai’i that I have learned a few words . Need to visit from NY TO HAWAII ❤👉🏾Simeona “

Tuvalu Alelo=tongue Leo=voice Te gana Tuvalu=Tuvalu language Leo Tuvalu=Tuvalu voice

Make anykine reminds me of the word “kapakahi” too. Or kanikaplia for jamming. Sometimes the Hawaiian word is the root of the pidgin slang also.

Aloha Kumu. What about the word lanai? It can be a porch and it can be the island. With the kahako and okina, it's the ISLAND. Without the kahako and the okina it's a PORCH. Please help. Mahalo.

Mahalo!!! Thank you so much for your videos !!!

And there are many other layers of understanding in Hawaiian language. ❤

So similar to my language, pe'ea koe? Is how are you?

i want to learn hawaiian..im from cook islands and my ancestor name is hawaiian her name is tuhilani

Do you teach online olelo classes?
