Class 1 (part four): An Introduction To The Hawaiian Language

[ukeuncle]

Mahalo e ke kumu, maika'i keia. To those looking for the lesson book, you can get it at UH Hilo in the Hawaiian Studies/Language office above the Ag Department which is behind the building where you pay for your parking pass-decal. Anyway, that's where they were located a few years ago.

@LearnHawaiian

Aloha!

I am able to type the 'okina on my computer when tyoping Hawa'ian words, but have no way of producing the kahako over the vowels. Please can you you give me some idea as to how to go about it?

I have tried typing ^ beside whichever vowel, but it did not work as I was aware that the kahako should be above the vowel, not beside or below it.
