Hawai'i Public Radio

July 27th: Inoa

Inoa means name. Koʻu inoa means “my name,” kou inoa means “your name.” So the next time you hear someone ask, “ ‘O wai kou inoa?” Just tell them what your name is.

Hapa == portion or part #hawaiianWordOfTheDay #half #portion #part #HPR #HawaiianPublicRadio #hawaiian https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/hawaiian-word-of-the-day-july-6th

Hawai'i Public Radio

July 6th: Hapa

Hapa is most often used in English conversation to describe something that is mixed or part something. And although it comes from the English word “half,” it means portion or part. We hear hapa used in hapa Hawaiʻi for part Hawaiian, or hapa haole for part foreign.
