Today for Mahina lelo Hawaii, we will go over some basic questions you can ask in lelo Hawaii and how to respond. To ask someone their name you can state O wai kou inoa? To respond, they can reply O [name] kou inoa. As we mentioned earlier this month, where someone is from is very important. To ask where someone is from, you can say No hea mai oe? To respond, they can state No [place] mai au.

Today's hualelo of the day for Mahina lelo Hawaii are ekahi, elua, ekolu, eh, elima, eono, ehiku, ewalu, eiwa, and umi. These are translated as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Once you remember these, it will make remembering the days of the week really easy! In Hawaiian, Monday is Poakahi, Tuesday is Poalua, Wednesday is Poakolu and so on. The only day that deviates from this pattern is Lpule or Sunday. Practice counting with your friends and family this Mahina lelo Hawaii!

Along with mahina lelo Hawaii, February is also Heart Health Awareness Month. To celebrate both, this week's hua lelo theme is on the Mno Wai - the hear...t and circulatory system. Puuwai is the hua lelo for heart, while haka is the hua lelo for the heart shape, as seen in a deck of cards. #mahinaolelohawaii #eolakaolelohawaii #olelohawaii #hearthealthawareness #healthyheart See more
