Hawaiian for your Pet |
Having difficulty finding someone to speak Hawaiian with on a daily basis? Teach your pet Hawaiian and you'll be speaking it every day! Sentences have been abbreviated into simple one-word (as much as possible) phrases. You (`oe) and E (which precede commands) are implied, as are words which are enclosed in parentheses in the English translations. Happy conversing!
