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 hoʻomanawanui, meaning to have patience, fortitude.

Aloha nui kākou! Eia mai ʻo Nāleiʻaʻala Enos ke hoʻolaha aku nei i ka huaʻōlelo o ka pule, ʻo “hoʻomanawanui.’’ E ʻoluʻolu, e hoʻomanawanui mai i ke kulikuli o ke kani ma ke kāʻeikua. A hui hou i kēia pule aʻe.
