Hawaiian Words
The word MAKUA means PARENT. The word HINE means WOMAN. Put them together for MOTHER and you get MAKUAHINE. Try saying it!
Genesis 3:20 Bible Verse
The man called his wife EVE because she was the mother. When you’re the mother, you’re the MAKUAHINE.
Hau’oli la Makuahine!
The word “happy” in Hawai’ian is “hau’oli.” So to wish a mother a “Happy Mother’s Day!” in Hawaiian is “Hau’oli la Makuahine!”
