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 mele, meaning song.
Aloha Pule Mele Manaka kākou! Eia mai ke ono o nā haumāna, ʻo Malu Walters, ke hoʻolaha aku nei i ka huaʻōlelo o ka pule, ʻo ke “mele.” ʻO wai kāu mele punahele? Kau nui ko mākou manaʻo i ka hoʻolohe ʻana i nā mele kaulana like ʻole e hīmeni ʻia i kēia pule!
