The proper Hawaiian word for "beautiful" is actually nani. some people use u'i instead. u'i can mean handome or beautiful and nani refers only to pretty or beautiful. The mark between the "u" and the "i" is called an 'okina, which in the English language is almost like a glottal stop. It is important that you pronounce (if you will) the 'okina in the word u'i. Otherwise, you'd be saying ui, which means "restless mind".
