Below is a sample of popular Hawaiian phrases and words. Note: These Hawaiian vocabulary words have not been written with the use of the correct kahakô markings due to the absence of a Hawaiian Font. A apostrophe like symbol called an `okina indicates a quick pause in the word, as in "ah-ah" for the word a`a. Stressed vowels a - ah, as in car: aloha e - a, as in may: nene i - ee, as in bee: honi o - oh, as in so: mahalo u - oo, as in spoon: kapu Unstressed vowels a - a, as in about: ali`i e - eh, as in met: kane In the Hawaiian language a symbol directly over a vowel called a kahakô indicates that the vowel sound is to be elongated. Sometimes the letter W is pronounced the same as V as in the traditional pronunciation of Hawai'i which is phonetically pronounced huh-vi-ee rather than huh-why-ee. Phonetically pronounced who-moo-who-moo-new-coo-new-coo-ah-poo-ah-ah. Take the name of Hawaii’s state fish, humuhumunukunukuapua’a, and pronounce it hu-mu-hu-mu-nu-ku-nu-ku-a-pu-a-a. Names and words are more easily pronounced when they are broken down into single syllable chunks. In the Hawaiian language a consonant is always followed by a vowel which also means all Hawaiian words end in a vowel.
