Kelly: WELCOME BACK.
DO YOU DRIVE AROUND OUR ISLANDS
AND WONDER WHERE THE NAMES OF
THE STREETS COME FROM?
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE OUR WEEKLY
ALOHA AUTHENTIC TO HELP.
BASIC HAWAIIAN KNOWLEDGE.
THIS WEEK WE FOCUS ON A STREET
FROM KAILUA YOU PROBABLY HEARD.
GOOD MORNING, KAMAKA.
WE'RE HERE LIVE OVER A BUSY
FREEWAY HERE ON OAHU.
TO HELP CAPTURE PEOPLE ON THE
GO, WHICH IS VERY APPROPRIATE AS
THE WORDS WE'LL BE SHARING WITH
YOU MEAN THE SAME THING.
IN THE AHUPUAA OF KAILUA WHICH
LIES IN THE MOKU LIES A STREET
THAT CAPTURES A SIMPLE WORD WE
CAN USE IN EVERY DAY LIFE.
HELE STREET.
ONE WORLD COULD HAVE MULTIPLE
MEANINGS HELE MEANS TO GO.
THIS SIMPLE WORD CAN BE USED IN
EVERYDAY CONVERSATION.
IF YOU SAY LET'S GO TO THE
BEACH, YOU CAN ADDED A HAWAIIAN
FLAIR BY SAYING, LET'S HELE TO
THE BEACH.
COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE ISLANDS
HAVE INCORPORATED THIS INTO
THEIR BUSINESSES SUCH AS HAWAII
ISLAND.
YOU SEE THEY ARE LOCAL BUS
OTHER MEANINGS INCLUDE TO
BECOME, TO TIE, TO LASH AND ALSO
TO DIVIDE OR CUT APART.
DID YOU KNOW?
NOW YOU DO.
Kelly: NOW I DO.
THANKS SO MUCH, KA MA KAMAKA.
COULD YOU BREAK DOWN THAT
HAWAIIAN SENTENCE YOU SHARED?
PRETTY MUCH OPPOSITE THAN IN
ENGLISH.
AGAIN THE NOUN -- ACTION COMES
TO WHOM YOU'RE SPEAKING OF.
HELE COMES FIRST.
KAKAHAHAI MANIES BEACH.
SO MEANS LET'S ALL GO TO THE
BEACH AND CHILL.
Kelly: WHAT ARE SOME OTHER
SIMPLE WORDS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO
HELE?
YES, SO THERE'S A FEW OTHER
WORDS.
HELE MEANING TO GO.
AND GENERAL HAWAIIAN WORD THAT
MEANS MOVEMENT.
HELE VAVAI MEANS FOOT.
GOING ON YOUR FOOT.
INURED IN OTHERIN OTHER WORDS TO WALK.
HOLO MEANS HURRY.
IF YOU DOUBLE THAT HOLO HOLO IT
MAKES ON ANOTHER MEANING, TO
RELAX OR STROLL ABOUT.
THESE ARE EASY WORDS WE USUALLY
SAY EVERY DAY IN ENGLISH.
IF WE WANT TO GIVE IT A HAWAIIAN
FLAIR WE CAN PLOT THOSE WORDS
IN.
Kelly: AWE.
AWESOME.
IF PEOPLE WANT TO LEARN HOW TO
SPEAK HAWAIIAN, WHERE SHOULD
THEY GO?
THERE'S SOME OP ONLINE COURSES.
THERE ARE SOME SERVICES PROVIDED
FROM BOTH PUNANALEO AND
KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS.
IN PERSON, SPEAKING TO
SOMETHING, UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I
HAS THEIR HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE
COURSE.
FIRST YEAR, SECOND YEAR, GOES UP
TO FOURTH YEAR.
THAT'S THE BEST BET YOU CAN HAVE
THAT PERSONAL INTERACTION AND
LEARNING FROM SOMEBODY FACE TO
FACE.
