Our Hawaiian word of the week is Hau’oli Makahiki Hou, which means “Happy New Year!”
First, we are going to say “happy” which is pronounced How-Oh-Lee.
Second, we are going to say “year” which is pronounced Mah-Kah-Hee-Kee.
Third, we are going to say “new” which is pronoounced HO.
Now let’s put that together. Please repeat after me:
HOW-OH-LEE MAH-KAH-HEE-KEE HO
One last time in Hawaiian….
Hau’oli Makahiki Hou
HOW-OH-LEE MAH-KAH-HEE-KEE HO
