Hawaiian word of the day

[kuulani]

'Ohana means family ... :gag:

Seriously though, today's word is pau. You know how much times I've wanted to use this word on the board, but can't 'cause no one but nalani and miki would understand me?!

Pau (sort of rhymes with "cow"), means "finished". Like, I'm pau writing this post

 

[Arris]

So whats todays Hawaiian word?
Or are you pau with this thread?

 

[PT]

pau. Did I pronounce that right?

 

[unclehobart]

kung pau chicken ... kung is finished with the chicken

 

[Luis G]

it's been a long time since my last word of the day

 

[samcurry]

i need another word.... i'm not pau'd yet.

 

[Inkara1]

Now, just mix this nitro glycerin, like so...

PAU!

Hmm... looks like we need a new Timmy!

 

[Luis G]

ask AlladinSane what pau means

 

[kuulani]

very good, you've all used it in sentences ... although I thought unc's word was "kung PAO chicken" ... and yes, PT, you pronounced it right. Luis, stop bastardizing my language Arris gets an "A" for the correctest usage of the word

Today's word is mahalo, meaning "thank you".
^ I'm pau defining mahalo.

Although I'm not pau with learning hawaiin words

Can you teach us the phrase:
"How much does the small goat cost?"

Never know when that might come in handy in Hawaiian.

 

[PT]

Mahalo, Coooo oooohh..... Pau.

 

[kuulani]

"How much does the small goat cost?"

'Ehia kalä o ia kao li'ili'i? ... although that may be a bit too advanced, let's stick with words ...

Today's word will be 'anakala, meaning uncle, in honor of our very own unc ... there, there, can you stop drawing your toe in the sand now?

 

[Squiggy]

'anakalahobart?

 

[Squiggy]

[Vortex]

[kuulani]

I'm not sure he'd like the change in definition

ana. 1. To measure, survey, evaluate. 2. To have enough or too much. 3. Cave, grotto. 4. Larynx.

äna. His, hers

'ana. Pumice.

 

[nalani]
