How do you say spirit in Hawaiian?
NOTE: The Hawaiian language is a phonetic language (almost like Spanish). Please keep this in mind when reading the pronunciations/pronouncing these words.In Hawaiian, 'uhane means "spirit." The mark before the "u" is called an 'okina, which is the equivalent of a glottal stop in the English language. There is no such word as uhane in the Hawaiian language. The 'okina must be there at all times.Interestingly enough, to say "Hawaiian" in Hawaiian, we simply say Hawai'i. Notice that the 'okina separates the last two vowels. To say "Hawaiian spirit" in Hawaiian, we say:'Uhane Hawai'i.('Oo-hah-ne Hah-vah-ee-'ee.)
