There is no way to be exact, since there's no universally accepted definition of what a word is. But the Hawaiian language contains between 20,000 and 40,000 words, by most estimates.

How many words are there in Hawaiian?

It's not possible to count the words in any language, because there is no universal definition of what a word is. But most estimates place the number between 40,000 and 160,000 words(which is the same range for almost all other languages).Given that Hawaiian is not a global language, it's likely that the word count is at the low end of the range.Note: English is an exception. It has the largest number of words of any language in the world, estimated at 170,000 to 250,000 words. No language has more words than English.
