Great puzzle-I am about to go out and shovel again. We took our kids to Hawaii 2 years ago for a trip of a lifetime and it was even better than we expected. We went to Hawaii, Maui and our favorite Kauai. We spent more time hiking that beaching. Go if you can!

naneki means Nancy :) Your name in Hawaiian is "Kepola" or "Keoi" for Debbie. (All the vowels are pronounced)

Now I'm curious. What would my name be?

Jennifer is "Kinipela "

here is a part of the Language Pronunciation

a - sounds like [ah]
e - sounds like [eh]
i - sounds like [ee]
o - sounds like [oh]
u - sounds like [oo]

two vowels together=
ai" sounds like the "i" in ice.
ae" sounds like I or eye.
ao" sounds like "ow" in how, but without a nasal twang.
au" sounds like the "ou" in house or out, but without a nasal twang.
ei" sounds like "ei" in chow mein or in eight.
eu" sounds like "eh-oo", run together, as a single syllable.
iu" sounds like the "ew" in few.
oi" sounds like the "oi" in voice
ou" sounds like the "ow" in bowl.
ui" is an unusual sound for English-speakers, sort of like the "ooey" in gooey, but pronounced as a single syllable.

ku`uipo [koo' oo (y)ee' poh] = ku`u (my) + ipo (sweetheart)

I hope this helps

Thanks! I always love what I learn on this site. In 13 days I will call my husband "ku'uipo" and confuse the heck out of him!

yes but this is a puzzle merits the Hawaiian discussion!
Don't you think?
Do we have any natural born Hawaiians on this site?

I love the way all our name sound in hawaian so yes we can have this discussion again and again

thank you our PBN ku`uipo!

THere are other place than Hawai for TGI Friday I went to one in Niagarra last summer

& there is one in San Bernardino, CA..they have gooood food & drinks!
Your name is Keleka!
The beaches there are awesome, but you have to watch out for flying cockroaches(They are BIG) I've only been over there once but it's a time I will never forget..& you haven't had a shave ice (snow cone) until you've had one there, Yummy!

We have them here in Oklahoma! (TGI Fridays--not sure about flying cockroaches!) It's a huge chain. But that's my mother-in-law. Travel the world just to eat at chain restaurants and shop at Wal-Mart! Gotta love her!

Keleka-- I like it!

LOL

When I went to Oahu, I went to North Shore, and had a shave ice from Matsamoto's. It was great! Mahalo, and Mele-kaliki Maka (even though it's not December, and pardon the fact that I don't know how to spell it right).

that is one of the 2 best places to get shave ice the other one is just down the street from it..did you get your shave ice with ice cream?

I don't remember. I don't think I did.

Are you talking about snow cones? Don't they all taste the same?

Adam if you ever go back there, add vanilla ice cream YUM!
Arduinna, no..shave ice is much finer, with snow cones the ice is chunkier you can chew the ice, where shave ice pretty much melts in your mouth & the flavoring that you add stays throughout the ice (snow cones the syrup ends up at the bottom)

Ahh, so all the "shave ice" stands around here are lying to us! Because, based on your description, they're all snow cones!

yep...they are all frauds :)
the ones in Waikiki are snow cones too, although they claim to be shave ice

MMMM, now I am getting hungry. I want some ice cream.

tin roof sunday for me please!

We got them where I work. And Mudslides and Sandy Marshes and ... a whole lot more.

MUDSLIDES!! are we talking Kahlua?? My favorite

Non-alcoholic mudslides, Naneki - hot fudge, soft ice cream, peanut butter syrup, chocolate chips, whipped cream and a cherry.

but I like the other one better :)

The two missing "major" islands are Niihau which is privately owned and Kaho'olawe which was once used by the military for target practice. No one lives on Kaho'olawe and there is still a lot of unexploded ordinance left. There are a lot of smaller islands or atolls in the Hawaiian chain which are only inhabited by birds, turtles, and seals. I live on the island of Oahu.
