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 paʻa, meaning something that becomes unmovable to the point where it does not become lose.
Aloha Poʻalima kākou! No kekahi mau pule o kēia mua aku, na nā haumāna Ka Haka ʻUla o Keʻelikōlani o ka papa KHAW 104 a Pōmaikaʻi Iaea e hoʻolaha aku i ka huaʻōlelo o ka pule ma ka pāhana ʻo MOʻOHUA! A no laila, ʻo Kalei Pulgados ka haumāna mua, a nāna e hoʻolaha aku i ka huaʻōlelo o kēia pule, ʻo “paʻa.”
