Hi Guys and Gals
if one of you kind folks fluent in Hawaiian dialect could help I would be greatly apriciative
I would like the Hawaiian translation to the following script…
“Made with Love for Susan , All my Love Ken”
Thanks Brudda’s
“Howzit, Sue - dis for you! aloha Kenny”

I actualy like that "pidgon" style
but
She wants the traditional lingo
I figured as much - just kiddin’ wit the pidgin!
Awwww ken you are so cute.
hehehehhehehehhe. i want to meet her!
I used this site when I wanted to write something Hawaiian on my Alaia. platty.
I'm going to get into trouble with my culture as I'm not either fluent or a linguist, but something to the nature of:
Ho`okumu ke aloha no Susan
"created with love for Susan"
Me Ke Aloha Pumehana - Ken
"with much love and affection - Ken"
(make sure you use an "okino" symbol as its very significant)
they are having a big dispute here regrading this symbol with the new hawaii stamp that was printed wrong.
Oneula - I like the sound of your sentence - your beautiful language must survive -
I've heard there's a school that teaches kids through Hawaiian - the only way to go -
It's a long hard fight to ensure that the dominant anglo culture doesn't dominate.
(Sorry if this is a bit "off topic")
(make sure you use an "okino" symbol as its very significant)
what is this symble?
Edumacationary I guess
What's an okina..

Hawaiian immersion schools will be our savior as language is the root of culture
you don't have to be hawaiian blood to attend one you do need to learn and live the cultuire and speak the language at scholl and at home with your family.
unfortunately its not the same
listening to the kupuna(elders) speak hawaiian is like listening to music
listening to the new generation is like watching TV news broadcasts..
when we grew up as did our parents we were taught to be ashamed of our culture so we never paid attention or learned it..
we needed to to learn trades to become "good, industrious men and women" and work for the police, fire and other trade jobs liek machinist, mechanics, carpenters.. Maybe Pauahi envisioned the existing future, where trade knowledge(making something with your hands) would come in more handy than a college degree. hmmm
thank you
basicly a "puncuation mark"
such a beutifull language
Nice, Ken;
Having just finished a board for my lady (it was number three for me and luckily came out aesthetically far better than number two!) and I just wrote ‘With love, for Chels’ on it. Now I wish I’d read your thread first lol.
She’ll be stoked, for sure!
…oh Yeah and ditto to Silverback’s comment on the language and it’s survival! In canada we have similar issues with the various indigenous languages and dialects. In particular the issues surrounding the Inuit up north as their’s is practically extinct already. Gotta keep those things going, there’s a cultural thread in the tapestry that can never hope to continue if the language dies.
I forgot to say thank you
"Thank You" and Aloha
Good job Onuela. All I could come up with was the "ke aloha" part. But that's strictly off the the top of my "haole" head.
been too busy surfing lately and not going on this forum,sorry that i saw this too late.Anyhow,what’s done is done.Next time anyone needs a hawaiian(or tahitian) translation,i would be glad to help send me a pm if i don’t check this board.I speak fluent tahitian and hawaiian,Marquesan comes back to me pretty quick when i get back there(yes,there is surf)I learned hawaiian very easily,being that it is so close to tahitian,which i grew up speaking.What Oneula wrote is true about the hawaiian taught in schools and colleges today not sounding like the hawaiian of old.I taught hawaiian for many years for the deparment of education’s adult classes,until i decided to spend more time surfing,getting old and life is short!Aloha,a hui hou(till we meet again)
Mahalo
but please let me know if I said something wrong
that was more of a text book translation than one with kauna
you know us hawaiians
we can't keep our mouths shut sometimes.
the one thing I deeply regret in my life is that
I wish I had learned more about my culture while I had the chance at Kamehameha
Aunty Nona tried her best to corral us she had latched on to my cousin Kimo
but we were too busy trying to be high school bad ass surf punk waterpolo druggies in ROTC uniforms.
I will learn my language one day soon so I can die closer to my ancestors than I feel I am today
Its funny that I learned more about my culture via music and dance 2500 miles away in the cold wet northwest than I did when I was at the cultural center of it all back home.
'a’ole pilikia e ka hoa!I would say,and I am only writing this in case someone else wants to write it and not to critisize and say my way is better(Hawaiian is a most beautiful language,and great if other people want to use it!),so I would say :Hana 'ia me ke aloha no"person’s name",and if you say :hana’ia me ke aloha no Susan e Ken,you said made with love for Susan by ken.You are lucky you knew Aunty Nona.It is very sad to me I don’t hear Hawaiian spoken,when my friends and I surf together and speak Hawaiian,I can see how other people appreciate the sounds,even though they don’t undestand us.it makes our surfing a much more happy experience.Did you get any of this east swell from Felicia?It got big here on Maui yesterday and especially this morning,I got some before the wind turned it into giant mushballs.Me ke aloha pumehana,'o wau no me ka ha’aha’a(Kava)
Please keep us up to date as to whether or not this gets you laid.
(It should)
