I have looked on the internet but have not found there names.
I have three parties in one week and we have decided to do a luau for them all. I want there names and be spelled as it would be in this language. Does anyone know of a website that is free that I can learn how to pronounce there names
Alisha 7 years old
Kelcee 10 years old... when pronounced it sounds like KelSEE
Tyler...as it sounds
Tyler 3 years old
Also would like to put there ages on there cake
If someone knows of a site that will help me please send it to me
Thank You
How do I say the kids name in Hawaiian Language?
Alisha-'Alika
seven-'ehiku
Kelcee-Keliki
ten-'umi
Tyler-Kileki
three-'ekolu
consonants sound the same as in english, vowels are "a" as in "paw", "e" as in "elf", "i" as in "bee", "o" as in "go", "u" as in "do", the glottal stop is a backwards apostrophe, it looks like the number six (only smaller)
I found the name translations at: www.alohafriendsluau.com
find more Hawaiian language translations and resources at: www.wehewehe.org
Also the best podcast for introductory Hawaiian language:
