Hale Kuamo‘o Mo‘ohua “Word of the Week”: Nalowale
Once a week during the school year, a single ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi word is introduced along with its meaning and an example sentence of its usage. This week’s word is nalowale.
Each week during the school year, Hale Kuamoʻo, the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo’s Hawaiian Language Center, posts a new “Word of the Week” as part of a series of short videos called Moʻohua.
Once a week, a single ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) word is introduced along with its meaning and an example sentence of its usage.
This week’s word is nalowale.
Aloha everyone! “Nalowale” is this week’s word. One definition of nalowale can be defined as being confused and not knowing the direction to go. Here is how to use that context of nalowale in a sentence: “Alas! While the ship was voyaging in the open ocean, the electrical power system of the ship was suddenly lost, resulting in the ship being lost at sea.” See you all again next week. Aloha!
