Pronunciation guide in Hawaiian phrasebook
Pronunciation guide in Hawaiian phrasebook
The Hawaiian alphabet has just 12 letters - consonants are H, K, L, M, N, P, and W, and vowels are A, E, I, O, and U.
In addition, there are two symbols that are commonly used. A glottal stop (`, called an "`okina") indicates a short pause. You will find these at the beginnings of words or in between vowels. When you see a glottal stop, don't let the syllables run into each other; instead, pause for a very brief moment and continue with the word. A macron (straight line over vowel, called a "kahakō") indicates a stressed vowel. When you see a macron, draw out the vowel for a little longer than you would a normal vowel.
