How do you say spirit in Hawaiian?

NOTE: The Hawaiian language is a phonetic language (almost like Spanish). Please keep this in mind when reading the pronunciations/pronouncing these words.In Hawaiian, 'uhane means "spirit." The mark before the "u" is called an 'okina, which is the equivalent of a glottal stop in the English language. There is no such word as uhane in the Hawaiian language. The 'okina must be there at all times.Interestingly enough, to say "Hawaiian" in Hawaiian, we simply say Hawai'i. Notice that the 'okina separates the last two vowels. To say "Hawaiian spirit" in Hawaiian, we say:'Uhane Hawai'i.('Oo-hah-ne Hah-vah-ee-'ee.)

Is there an apostrophe in Hawaii?

You must remember that Hawaii has its own language separate from English, and some things are different. The punctuation mark used in the Hawai'ian language (just used it) is not the English apostrophe. Properly known as a glottal stop, it is used when you have paired vowels, to indicate a full pronunciation of each letter. Used formal communication, it is a key to properly speaking some Hawaiian words- so you know that it is not ha-wahi, but ha-wah-i. Aloha
