This was so good. I'm learning Hawaiian through DuoLingo and they don't really explain the grammar rules at all. They just throw an "i" in in there an expect you to figure out why. This helped me so much. Mahalo!
Mahalo plenty. I am 76 yrs old, kupuna, and belong to Hawaiian Civic club but you have taught me so much in just 3 lessons. Left home at 18 yrs, grew up hearing Hawaiian, those words I know, putting them together is another thing. My mo'opuna want to learn Hawaiian with me for a long time but I never found one that I liked for them. For this generation to have continued interest. They do that duo lingo but there just words, how do you use them? We start tomorrow with my two 16-17 year olds. I think they'll like you alot. I know I do. We have regular ukulele lesson and I think they are ready to do 'olelo Hawaii. And ditto to what everyone has already said. Mahalo, mahalo, mahalo. Ukulele Tutu
I want to learn Hawaiian language and your videos are perfect for me because I speak spanish and you don't speak to fast haha Thanks for sharing it with us! :)
Aloha Laura!! I am writing to you from Florida!! I am a 69y.o. English teacher learning Hawaiian language to equip myself for a new life in Hawaii coming July. Your videos are helping me with the grammar structure of the language, which Duolingo lacks. Would love to meet you in person when I get there. Mahalo and lots of aloha, Cecilia Piani
Thank you so much. I’m Hawaiian on my dad’s side, and since he passed away when I was a baby and I grew up in Minnesota, learning Hawaiian is so important to me because I feel so much closer to knowing my dad and also closer to home and my ancestors. I’m writing up a google doc to study from with vocab lists/examples/practice exercises from your videos (so far I only have stuff from this one, since I just started!) so if anyone wants access to the doc lmk!
Blessings on you! Keeping your dad's memory alive through the traditional language and culture of Hawai'i! May he feel alive to you, and may you be given to experience the beauty and aloha spirit of Hawai’i in person.
Like many others here in the comments secrion, I am also learning through Duolingo. This grammar explanation is a necessary and helpful supplement to Duolingo. Or rather, Duolingo is a good supplement to this lesson. Now that I have the concept, drilling on Duolingo is less confusing. Thank you so much for this excellent lesson!
Mahalo......this is fantastic....I have been learning Hawaiian chants but need to understand Hawaiian grammar better. I appreciate your clarity and humor!!!! There are so many words like "mai" "wale" "kau" that I don't fully understand.....
Hello Laura, Your videos are so very helpful. Thank you so much for all that you do. It's clear that you put a lot of time and thought into your presentations. Mahao! from Kailua Oahu. Aloha nui loa...........
You are such a great teacher. I am also learning, Arabic and I just found out that the subject goes after the action too/ or that the sentence structure starts from the end and goes to the beginning, while writing it. It’s very confusing, but this is so cool to learn Hawaiian as well and know that there is action first.
2:08 I'm learning how to speak にほんご (Ni-Ho-n-Go) "Japanese" and it's the same thing. I.e. "I am David", "De-bi-do Desu" "Desu" pronounced "Des" means "I am" so this will be easy for me to grasp.
Thank you so much it's so hard to find places to learn Hawaiian for free! I was born there, and have always felt a connection to the islands, but have struggled to figure out where to go to learn it! You're wonderful (and super pretty btw lol) thank you!
I am so glad I found your channel, what has been confusing for me about learning Hawai'ian is the unpredictable in Duolingo it is sometimes the same as the English and other times a sentence will be odd if literally translated so my struggle is knowing when this occurs. Grammar concepts are confusing in American English, so understanding them in other languages is hard for me.
hi, this is someone being via other materials in hawaiian language, is there any in hawaiian that is equivalent to participles in english? and is there a subjunctive mood? or just a conditional? and how to negate future tense verbs?
There isn't an exact equivalent to participles in Hawaiian. If you haven't watched already, check out my video on verb tenses: th-cam.com/video/ctPKsf7cnwU/w-d-xo.html for info on past simple, present continuous, and future simple sentences.
I'm trying so hard to learn Hawaiian language, your video are the best. I was wondering if you can help me or not. I got on line and got goggle translated from English to Hawaiian. The word in English the is being said in English but won't say it in Hawaiian. Because I would like to know if I'm saying it right. So is there any translation saying it in Hawaiian
Hehe..its like Malay but in a puzzle form 😂.. we have "ini" which is similar to "i" and we have lots of repeated syllable for a word like tonton which is similar to nana 😂
Hello my name is Gene and I was wondering if you can help me out I'm trying to find this Hawaiian record album but I don't remember the name on the album but I remember tow songs on the album and I will tell you how the songs go and the first song sound like this ay mon noo boo ahwa ety ety ah dht tee and the second song sound something like this ru peda pedal do moa
This was so good. I'm learning Hawaiian through DuoLingo and they don't really explain the grammar rules at all. They just throw an "i" in in there an expect you to figure out why. This helped me so much. Mahalo!
My experience on Duolingo led me here as well!
Same hahaha
Me too haha
Same, I don't think duoling is doing a great job at teaching Hawaiian
Same hahaha. Learning on duolingo.
Glad I found you! You are filling in the blanks that Duolingo leaves out. Mahalo!
Thanks. I've been using Duolingo and I don't know why they won't explain grammar more. It would make things a lot easier to know some basic grammar.
Are you paying for duo ?
@@swirledworld340 No. Especially in the Hawaiian course they don't offer enough to pay for it.

Oh yes keep up the good work because of you I'm learning to talk Hawaiian
In Japanese you have topic markers instead or object markers. These markers were often used in some ancient Asian languages.
Inu au i ke kope.
Kākau au.
Nānā au i TH-cam.
Kokua au ko’u makuahine.
Mahalo ☺️🎉
Aww this is awesome! You’re such a good teacher
They say this language is dying. What a pity... It is SO beautiful!! I think it is the most beautiful language I ever heard.
It's having a resurgence! People (like this teacher) are dedicated to bringing it back, and will never let it die. Ke Aloha No Hawai’i !

Aʻo wau i ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi. Mahalo nui loa!
Naʻu ka hauʻoli!
How does a word like movie get translated into Hawaiian which was spoken well before movies were created
we have a similar languange..almost.i mean matano languange from south sulawesi indonesia.could i can zoom with u ?about the languange.
Hehe..its like Malay but in a puzzle form 😂.. we have "ini" which is similar to "i" and we have lots of repeated syllable for a word like tonton which is similar to nana 😂
How come you said au - o ,then said it different when said helehele au ?
Thanks for making these videos! Can you pronounce words slower? For an example: Kiʻiʻoniʻoni :) Mahalo nui!

Naʻu ka hauʻoli!
I go work!
the sentence i came up with
inu au i wai
MAHALO
I hear some of these words in Hawaiian music.
Traducción en español por favor 🥺 no pillo un canal como este en español y no se inglés 😭
yo puedo traducir para ti, si todavía lo quieres. Déjame saber
she said O instead of au. for I.
Google translate has not been accurate. I don't think the algorithm is up to par yet.
I was told mamake
Pronunciation is not perfect. "au" she says more like "ou" so gotta be careful. Good informations but gotta 2nd source and be careful.
Definitely a good point -- I'm still working on my pronunciation. I recommend people listen to native speakers here: ulukau.org/kaniaina/
