Nā helu ｜ Numbers Beta

Enter a base-10 number to convert it to ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi text.

Notes

1. If you’re referring to the quantity of something, use hoʻokahi for “one” (1) and ʻaʻohe for “none” (0). For example, “He hoʻokahi āna keiki“ (she/he has one child); “ʻAʻohe oʻu kaʻa“ (I don’t have a car).
2. When counting to oneself, reading a long string of numbers, or when accuracy is crucial, it is common to use the shortened forms in succession (pākahi), (0 ʻole, 1 kahi, 2 lua, 3 kolu, 4 hā, 5 lima, 6 ono, 7 hiku, 8 walu, 9 iwa). For example, 103922 can be read as “kahi ʻole kolu iwa lua lua”.
3. When summarizing quantities between 2 and 9, use the “ʻe-“ prefix form. For example, counting 6 things: “kahi lua kolu hā lima ono, ʻeono!”
