Yes, it's a lot more rules in Hawaiian, compared to English. I haven't come across a generic word to use for siblings if one/some are older and the others are younger.
I see a lot of locals adding an “s” to pluralize their last name, or even a Hawaiian word. For example, if the last name was Kanahele, when signing a card, they would write, Kanaheles. I’m sure Kanahele ‘Ohana would be better. Are there other ways?
Is this the words you would use to address these people as well? I'm sure there's a shortened version for "dad" or "daddy", right? Mahalo! That's precious knowledge you're sharing.
Wonderful your little family ...wish you the best.
Another great lesson, thank you.
I called my grandparents tūtū :)
Thank you for explaining this because I never understood the whole sibling thing. How would you say "my siblings" if you're the second of 3 children?

@@KeAlohaNoHawaii ok, thank you
6:05 the alphabet is was also made by the missionaries when they came to Hawaiʻi so that is also why most use the k sound.
Thank you
a cute son you have! Mahalo
Slang “tita” is most commonly used like
“Homegirl”. Like “one of the girls”.
In duolingo, it teaches you Palala means brother. Is this word from English like Tita, and can you say no matter what gender you are?

i think dad could just be makua and mom could be māmā? Might be wrong tho!
Mahalo. I think you are using “the” when it’s not technically there. Grandparent is literally Kapuna. “The grandparent” is ke kapuna. Right?
