  Pukana 2: Pepa Kākoʻo  
1. Hoʻolauna
  2. Pehea _______?
3. ʻO wai _______?
Hoʻolauna: 4. No hea mai ___?
• Who you are...
• Who your parents are...
• Where you are from...

Hoʻolauna is to make familar with. We hoʻolauna to give self introductions when meeting others.

The following is a basic outline of a hoʻolauna:

Aloha mai kākou! Greetings to us all!

ʻO ______ koʻu inoa. My name is _________.
No _______ mai au. I am from __________.
Mahalo! Thank you!
It is important in the Hawaiian perspective to state your name, your family and where you are from.

There are other pharses that people use when meeting others, which we will practice.

Pehea _________?:
• Refers to how someone/ something/ somewhere is.
• Pehea ʻoe?: How are you?
• Pehea ʻo ia?: How is he/ she?
• A casual reply to the “pehea” question would be: Maikaʻi au: I am good.
o An example in the episode:
 Aloha e Pōmaikaʻi, pehea ʻoe?: Hello Pōmaikaʻi, how are you?
 Maikaʻi au: I am good.
• Pehea can also be used with names of people/ places:
o Pehea ʻo _________? : How is (name of person or place)?
o An example in the episode:
 Pehea ʻo ʻIwa?: How is ʻIwa?
 Maikaʻi ʻo ʻIwa.: ʻIwa is good.
• NOTE: Maikaʻi is a descriptive word. The reply to a “pehea” question may not always be maikaʻi.
It could be other descriptive words like ʻoluʻolu: kind or ʻōmaʻomaʻo: green.
o An example in the episode:
 Pehea ʻo ʻIwa?: How is ʻIwa?
 ʻOluʻolu ʻo ʻIwa. ʻIwa is nice.
 Pehea kēlā hāpuʻu?: How is that fern?
 ʻŌmaʻomaʻo kēlā hāpuʻu.: That fern is green.

ʻO wai ___________?
• Refers to a persons name.
• ʻO wai kou inoa?: What is your name?
o One uses the “ʻo wai” question when asking a persons name or geneology.
• The repose gets tricky when with multiple people:
o Remember the following kaʻi:
 kou: your/ koʻu: mine/ kona:his/her
o An example from the episode:
 Hina: “ʻO wai kou inoa? What is your name?”
ʻIwa: “ʻO ʻIwa koʻu inoa. My name is ʻIwa.”
Hina: “ʻO wai kona inoa? What is his/her name?”
ʻIwa: “ʻO Pōmaikaʻi kona inoa. His/her name is Pōmaikaʻi.”

No hea mai ____________?

• Refers to where someone/ something is from.
• No hea: From where
o No hea mai ʻoe?: Where are you from?
o No hea mai ʻo ia?: Where is he/ she from?
• To reply, replace the word “hea” with the place name of where you are from AND replace the word
“ʻoe: you” with “au: I.”
o No hea mai ʻoe?: Where are you from?
No ( ) mai au.: I am from ( ).
o An example from the episode:
 Hina: “No hea mai ʻoe? Where are you from?”
ʻIwa: “No Hilo mai au. I am from Hilo.
• NOTE: When using “ʻo ia: his/her,” you donʻt have to change the response of the person, only the
locaiton.
o For example:
 No hea mai ʻo ia?: Where is he/she from?
 No Kailua mai ʻo ia.: He/she is from Kailua.
