The Hawaiian language is wonderfully melodious. Hawaii's state fish, for example is called the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a (HOO-mu-HOO-mu-NOO-ku- NOO-ku-AH-pu-WAH-a). The language is so vibrant and poetic! At the moment, my favorite phrase is "ku`u pua mae`ole" meaning my dear unfading flower. I love you in Hawaiian is said "Aloha wau iâ `oe" (ah-loh-hah-vau-ee-AH-oe).
