The Hawaiian word for sweet is "momona" or "onaona".

Occasionally, Hawaiians get annoyed when words are pronounced incorrectly. This is due to the fact that if one was to say a word incorrectly they could be talking about something else in the language.

Here the Hawaiian word momona means sweet, or sweet-tasting fat (as in meat fat that makes a meal delicious). On the other hand onaona is referring to another type of sweet. The sweet that this words describes is a sweet smell or fragrance (such as a flower or pua)
