Aloha mai from Maui! Most common affectionate term if tutu (derived from kuku-correct Hawai'ian pronunciation) for either grandparent is tutu wahine for grandmother, tutu Kane for grandfather, kupuna for any elder out of respect. Grandchild is mo'opuna. Lots of good on-line searches available. Mahalo for asking!

How do you say grandpa in Hawaiian?
Tutu IS used in Hawaii as a term for grandparent, but it is not a Hawaiian word. There is no letter "t" in the Hawaiian alphabet. Often, the letter "k" is substituted for the letter "t" for similar South Pacific words like taro = karo and the ti plant is the ki plant in Hawaiian. However, I have not heard the term kuku for grandparent. It is my understanding that the appropriate word for grandparent is "kupuna;" translated as respected elder. Kane IS the Hawaiian word for man. It is pronounced "kah nay," NOT "kah nee," The letter "e" is pronounced as "ay." When pronouncing Hawaiian words think of Spanish pronunciations. Wahine is the Hawaiian word for woman. It is pronounced "wah hee nay." So, grandfather is "kupuna Kane" and grandmother is "kupuna wahine" in the Hawaiian language.
What is the Hawaiian word for grandmother?
"the hawaiian word for grandparent is kapuna"It is not. The word is kuku wahine for grandmakukukane for grandpa. (archaic) 'tutu is a contemporary local term.There is no such word in the Hawaiian language as kapuna.There is, however a word signifying someone older who has more wisdom, that would be "kupuna". "tutu is ofteh used for grandmother but the hawaiian language has no "t's" so this may actually be from Samoan or another language" The Hawaiian language DID have the letter T. It is interchangeable with the letter K. The written language created by Missionaries changed much back then.
