Im making a language of my own, and I made 3 kinds of we, a ambiguos, a inclusive and a exclusive. It was quite a shock to know that those pronoums are a thing in hawaiian, I feelt so proud of recriating this by aciddent haha
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:57 🤔 Hawaiian has three categories of plural personal pronouns: singular (one person), dual (two people), and plural (three or more people). English only has singular and plural. 02:01 🔄 Hawaiian distinguishes between inclusive and exclusive "we" (when referring to the speaker and others) using different words: kāua (inclusive) and māua (exclusive). 03:49 💡 In Hawaiian, the Akina (ʻokina) is used to indicate the glottal stop, and it's important to understand its role in pronouncing these personal pronouns. 06:20 📝 The dual and plural personal pronouns in Hawaiian follow a pattern: inclusive and exclusive versions look similar, differing only in the first letter. For example, kāua (we inclusive) and māua (we exclusive). 09:50 🌟 Practice using these plural personal pronouns by forming sentences about what different groups of people do using verbs like "work" (Hana) and remember the distinctions between inclusive and exclusive "we."

Whats da difference between nui/loa when applying after something?Pretty sure nui-great and loa-much.. Like Mahalo nui orr mahalo loa.. obviously you could say mahalo nui loa but what does that mean den, that its just preference on wat you like say? Or is it more appropriate for say certain ones?
Close! I actually cover this is lesson 5 on proper nouns -- when a proper noun (like 'Mary') or a pronoun is the object of the sentence, instead of using "i" for the direct object marker, you use "iā" (there are some contractions is the object is au or 'o ia). Also, you would only need to use 'o if Mary was the subject of the sentence. So "I like Mary" is "Makemake au iā Mary". And "Mary likes me" is "Makemake 'o Mary ia'u" (Mary is the subject, so we do include 'o; and ia'u is the contraction of iā + au). Check out lesson 5 for more info on using iā as the object marker: ua-cam.com/video/f-87_-HbRy8/v-deo.html
@@KeAlohaNoHawaii ok, like if I want to say where are you go I don’t know how to say it in Hawaiian? So I want to know how will I know what a word means if someone said it in Hawaiian when I don’t know the word?
@@xmoonbellxrose8289 @AlohaAlpha Rose Ok, so it sounds like you want to know both how you can translate something from English to Hawaiian, as well as how to translate something from Hawaiian to English. For English to Hawaiian: If, it's just one word you need to know in Hawaiian, I would recommend looking it up in an English-Hawaiian dictionary. Here's one that I use a lot: wehewehe.org/ If you are not sure how to say a full sentence, you can try Google translate, but it's not a perfect solution. For Hawaiian to English: If read a Hawaiian word and you don't know the meaning, you can also look that up here: wehewehe.org/ If someone says a word and you don't understand it, you could ask them what it means directly, or ask them how to spell it so that you can look it up in the dictionary.

@@KeAlohaNoHawaii Like "Ua ike aku nei 'oe iā'u" yeah? By the way,do you have a lesson on passive sentence structure like when you use "ia" and "e"?
How will I know the words to say because I can read it but I don’t know how to speak it I don’t know the word for it?
I'd love to help you out! Can you clarify what you are asking? Can you give an example of something you are trying to say?

Depends on if it’s inclusive or exclusive.
