What does the Samoan word fetepatepai mean?
That's not Samoan. Maybe Tongan or Cook Island.
It's not Tongan. I'm part Tokelauan/Samoan/tongan. I know my tongan well as I was brought up there if it's not Samoan than why is it in the Samoan bible it's in the book of Isaiah. My father is part tokelauan/Samoan and he's 65 born in apia and he's never heard this word before that's why I'm asking if anyone knows the meaning than it'll be great as far as I know it might mean Discouraged but if there's another word for discouraged in Samoan than please let me know thanks
Did you ask this question?...Ok my apologies. I thought it was an everyday word. Yeah Samoan Bible words are alot more complicated. Try looking at an English Bible version of the exact same scripture and you might find what you're looking for. Sorry I wasnt able to help. Can you please let me know what the verse is (in the Samoan bible). Cheers!
Yes I did! That's ok no worries. I guess I should have been more clear in what I was asking. I did and so did my father but he still doesn't get it I'm sorry for being so dramatic about it. It's in Isaiah 41 verse 10 ciao

Why did Tonga colonized Samoa?
I'm Tongan and proud of my heritage and i must say when i was growing up my father influenced me in many aspects especially in telling me the history of Tonga. He's not a historian or a doctor in anthropology but i have to say that the knowledge he bestowed on me is the same tradition his father bestowed on him.... another thing i might add is that it is rude and embarrising for a Tongan to say to a Samoan we onced ruled you! rather i take what my father taught me humbly and with care....my father always told me that the reasons of our past will never be trufuly known until judgment day.
According to oral tradition's of my father The Kingdom of Tonga around 950AD was strong, unified and very ambitious.. by that time Tonga first expanded her branches to neighbouring Rotuma.. Uvea.. Tonga had alot of fearsome warriors who were also skilled seafarers...They would sail in a double hull conoes called "kalia" that could host 100men often travelling 10 kalias at a time... my dad would say that Tongan Warriors first entered the south of savaii in a place that the Tongan warriors landed there first place of arrival thanking there heathen god "maui" for safe passage and for the blood of their about to be slaughtered enemies."Tama'tau" ac place which still exsists today in the southern part of savaii Samoa meaning in Tongan "men of war" the samoans call it "sama'tau" because the whole entire village and its warriors were slaughtered.. From there on as Samoa were not united and were a seperatists tribe nation Tonga were able to divide and conquer most parts of Samoa.... Tonga had a annual "Inasi" tribute to the King where islands from every part of the pacific and melanisia would yield there best crops to the king... Captain Cook in his visit in 1774 to Tonga noted down a festival in which he saw dark skinned and aisan like people in Tonga.... Samoa after 200-300 years had enough and where the Mailetoa family ousted Tonga rule from Samoa...The tongan king almost die, so he fear for his life and retreat, while retreating he called out "Malie toa ua malie tau, I will return to Samoan as a visitor, but never again for war"...so really the samoans could have invaded tonga but they werent selfish or greedy like the tongans....
What does malu afiafi mean in Samoan?
It actually means "Dinner" or "Come to Dinner" or in a sentence reffering to a feast of some sought.
It is the way you say respectfully or to someone of higher rank especially to a Samoan Chief.
This form of language is different from regular informal Samoan you speak to the steel cape kickers from the Boat. This is what we call Faa' alo'alo meaning respect,courtesy,polite in good manner.
This way or manner of speaking is also called Faa'aga'nuu.

No! He is a native hawaiian, born and raised, as is his dad his mom grandpa grandma great grandma great great great great grandpa. If what King Kalakaua documented were true, then all that means is one of his decendants some 700 years earlier lived in ancient polynesia/modern day samoa. At that point in 1100AD all hawaiians, samoans, tongans,etc. were simply POLYNESIAN! With that type of logic you can say Ghengis Khan, Julius Cesear, John F. Kennedy, and Bruce Lee are African. Because all humans originated from Africa. Oh yeah and Pili and Kamehameha as well.
