woww thank you so much!! i got interested in the hawaiian language and culture since i found out my nickname (nalu) meant "wave" in hawaiian, and i also play ukulele. now i want to learn this language, and your video was soooo helpful as an introduction!! i couldn't thank you enough for that! mahalo !^^
❤🤗😀❤ Love this video! Love to watch many more of these! So intresting to know more. Got intrested in learning the Hawaiin language after I found videos on f.b of some amazing hawaiin dancers perform with both dance and song in the most amazing way. And slso learning that the language was almost lost and still needs more to speak it to keep it alive for the future❤. Keep up the good work!!🤩👍🇸🇪

Would love to see a real performance like that someday if I got the chance to go🥰🤗🌟. Want to learn some more hawaiian until then😁👍
@@mew11two Yes ă â and î. Î and  sound the same, but Î is used at the beginning/end of an word. In english, for example a is "ei", e is "i", i is "ai", o is əʊ(like "ou"), u is iu. That's what I meant. In hawaiian and latin languages(and probably more) the vowels are made of 1 single sound unlike english.
Mahalo for watching! I hope you've had the chance to watch the other videos on my channel. I took a little break for a while, but I just recently release some new vocabulary videos, and hope to post more often this year!
Sorry for the late reply. You know, the way that most people pronounce English words that start with a vowel (e.g. "apple"), that pretty close to creating that 'okina sound. I would say that it's actually hard for English speakers to replicate the sound when the Hawaiian word starts with a vowel without an 'okina -- which requires you to ease into that vowel sound.
You know how some British people say Bu'uh instead Butter or how Americans don't really pronounce the last "t" in "don't", it's just a stop. That stop/glottal stop is the okina. It's a sharp pause/stop between sounds.
Aloha! Trying to find the "Hawaiian Language Co-page #" to retrofit computer for translation and printing in Hawaiian. The USA EPA Region 9 Environmental Justice and Civil Rights Indigenous Webinars described "Translation Science"; and "Language Justice" issues. It also appears that in many cases where the Indigenous Peoples in many lands were oppressed and not allowed to speak their own language. In the TMT Contested Case Hearing, the Hearings Officer Violated the law when she put the State of Hawai'i Language Access Coordinator "under orders not to allow a Hawaiian Language Interpreter".
I'm from Brazil and a student of hula. I study with Duolingo but this Chanel is beautiful because teaches the grammar and so it's more easy to comprehension de language structure. Thank you very much, Mahalo nui! 🙂
I non-flowing speech, I always add an ‘okina sound because words beginning in vowels in my dialect of English, and this carries over to Hawai’ian, How can I get rid of that ‘okina sound? I can’t say words that begin with vowels without that ‘okina.
Yeah, I'll admit it's pretty hard to distinguish between 'okina and no 'okina at the beginning of the word. The best way I can describe it, is when there is no 'okina at the beginning of the word, you kind of ease into the vowel. But with the 'okina, you have the glottal stop. Like say the vowels how you would in English "a", "e", etc., the way we tend to say those is with a glottal stop, almost like it has an okina. Another note: if a word starts with a vowel, but it's in the middle of the sentence, that beginning vowel will blend in with the vowel that ends the preceding word to create a diphthong. For example, the phrase "ka i'a" means "the fish". I'a does not start with an okina. But when combine with the "ka" before, it creates that diphthong, as if you were saying "kai 'a".
Sometimes the “a” vowel has an /uh/ sound, right? Like in the word maika’i - from what I’ve been hearing, it’s not Mai-kah-I as much as mai-kuh-i. Or “Au” is less ah-u as uh-u. Just something I’ve noticed.
Yes, those two pairs are definitely the hard ones! "Ae" should sound pretty much like the English word "eye" (American accent). But keep it open at the end. Practice slowly "Ah" going into "Eh" and then speed it up more and more. For "Ai", I actually hear a lot of native Hawaiian speakers begin that diphthong with more of a "uh" sound for the "A" (rather than "Ah") and then is glide into the "i" (pronounced "ee"). Try it slowly "Uh...ee", then go faster and faster. "Ao" will be similar to "Ae". Start with "Ah" and then slowly go into "Oh". Then speed it up. And "Au" will be similar to "Ai", where you'll start with more of an "Uh" sound and then glide into "Oo". Again, start slow and then speed it up. I feel like "Ae" and "Ao" keep the mouth more open and their counterparts "Ai" and "Au" are more closed. Hope that helps!
I was directed to check out how Hawaiian sounds like by someone claimed that mine own language is supposedly somehow similar sounding ... Well, by the looks of it, we have more phonemes and where Hawaiian uses “ā” we write “aa” and ’ isn't used, but is pronounced (I think: "veeanum" would be "vē'anum” for Hawaiian, and "õeelu” would become “õe'elu”?)
Great video! If we have a specific pronunciation question (in regards to the 'okina), is there an email address we can contact you by? Please let me know. Thanks.
Sorry for the late reply here. I'm trying to respond to comments more often, so if you have a pronunciation question, you can leave it as a comment -- which is helpful because others might have the same question!
I've noticed a lot of similarity in sounds between Hawaiian and Spanish. The "w" in Hawaiian is interesting because you can hear it pronounced a lot of different ways depending on the person, but I tend to use that soft "v" sound.
Thanks for this video! Quick question: I have seen words that *begin* with an 'okina. Does that affect the pronunciation of the word, or is it just there to make sure you don't create a diphthong with the word that precedes it?
Okay. So I'm actually Hawaiian. About 25% I'm told. So when I told my Aunt I started learning German, she reccomended I learn some Hawaiian. To protect the heritage of my people, or something
'O pepeluali ka mahina 'olelo Hawai'i. Hau'oli mahina 'olelo Hawai'i! With that in mind I want to learn Hawaiian before the mouth is out. Any advice? Lastly I am learning Hawai'i on doulingo and most of your videos are about the same subjects, so in short if you have time can do the Hawaiian course on doulingo and than make videos about each lesson. Thanks for being here to teach me Hawaiian. Have a blessed day.

Do you have any pointers on pronouncing words that start with an ‘okina?
For instance, how do ‘ala and ala differ from one another.
This would prevent the vowel glide from occurring across words as mentioned in the example at 10:15

The vowels are exactly as we say in Portuguese
And the ditongos as well
How are you supposed to pronounce the ‘Okina when it is at the beginning of a word?
Also how do you pronounce these?:
aa
ee
ii
oo
uu

If there is no 'okina between those vowels, you would just extend the sound of the vowel -- similar to what happens with the kahakō.
Mahalo for this video.
Sometimes the “a” vowel has an /uh/ sound, right? Like in the word maika’i - from what I’ve been hearing, it’s not Mai-kah-I as much as mai-kuh-i. Or “Au” is less ah-u as uh-u. Just something I’ve noticed.
Is there one for android phones?

Could you further explain the differences between "ae" and "ai?" They sound very similar. Also, "ao" and "au."
