When we say ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi everywhere, we mean everywhere! Even a galaxy far, far away. Hawaiian is a supple language that can describe the onomatopoeic way a bird sips nectar (mūkīkī) or the heap of pebbles you might find outside an octopus den (peʻapeʻa pōhaku). You can use it to describe some of our most ancient and enduring traditions or to talk about a future filled with Hawaiian values connected to ʻāina and our pilina.
You can even use ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi if you are the most feared Sith lord in the galaxy and have gone over to the dark side, but you still have some good in you and just want to reconnect with your ʻohana.
So for this Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi and beyond, think about new places where you can use ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, and you’ll see that you ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi everywhere! E ‘Ōlelo Kākou!
