Yes, it is safe to affirm that ritualistic cannibalism was practiced in Samoa during pre-colonial times, especially in war time between hostile factions. There are accounts of cannibalism in Samoan folklore, mythology and legends. Like many ancient societies, cannibalism was practiced all throughout such cultures. Within Samoan society at this time, a chief (ali'i) would eat the liver of a killed enemy.

Fale (colloquial); Maota (respectful name of a Church, Hospital, residence of Servants of God, Priests, Ministers, Nuns, a King, Prince, Princess, a High Chief (Matai) who is a Lord, a non-talking chief); Laoa (respectful name for the residence of a High Chief (Matai) who is an orator or a talking chief.

lou ola (your life), lou lalolagi (your world), o au mea uma (your everything)

The origins of Samoa are uncertain. Moa is a very old family/ tribal name, and Sa Moa is "people of Moa". American Samoa is called that to distinguish it from Samoa. American Samoa is a US territory located Southeast of Samoa. It is 5 islands, and 2 atols- about 76 sq. miles of land, and just over 55,000 pwoplw,

samoans celebrate Christmas by knowing how to spell hahaha jonah

Literal translation: "O le toto e a'alu atu ai lo le vaiauli" or translating the idea/meaning of thicker in this case, I would tend to use the word "malosi" - O le toto e malosi atu ai lo le vaiauli".

figure as in number or figure something out.

Samoa is geographically in the Southern and Western Hemispheres. However, politically, Samoa is a part of the Eastern Hemisphere as it has recently announced that it now considers itself west of the IDL. Samoa is a part of Australia & Oceania.

Talo (taro), fa'i (bananas), ta'amu (I don't know the English name), yam (ufi)

This will completely depend on where you are starting from.

Hang on a second... Where have you seen a Samoan wearing a SHEET? The traditional wear for males are their "ie faitaga" which is a lavalava. Is that what you mean? If so, then just like how so many other countries have their traditional attire, so do we.

Hawaiians dont neccessarily hate Samoans. But there are a few soft points. Lots of Samoans come to Hawaii to go to school or follow a more American way of life, and they have big families. So, theyre everywhere. Hawaiians are very terretorial about their land, especially since hawaiians are a small people and almost died out. Also, there are many stereotypes that Hawaiians have for Samoans, particularly the men--trouble makers, beat women, get you hapai (pregnant) and leave you, smart alecky, and dont see themselves doing anything but construction and grunt work, etc. Its really hard for samoans to marry hawaiian girls for this reason. Samoans are also a very proud people, and have the whole of their culture in tact, and usually speak their language. Hawaiian culture was shredded to peices by America, who prohibited Hawaiian in schools and beat children who spoke it, and changed everything to English and missionaries banned the hula and on and on. Samoans usually see this as a soft spot when they are offended in the cultural battle and use this as a comeback. Its actually not samoans in general, its just the few that offend hawaiians in the previously stated ways. Unless you're Hawaiian, you will never truly understand.

Talofa lava, pronounced Tah-lo-fah lah-va is the polite way to just say hello. A simple talofa suffices but to express great happiness when greeting someone, the adjective 'lava' is also included.

Nice to see people interested in o le Gagana Samoa (the Samoan Language)! :) Manuia le aso means "blessing the day" or literally have a good day! Hope this helps! Manuia le aso! Fa soifua! (Good bye!) Alofa, >>*Teine D*<<

A Grammar and Dictionary of the Samoan Language has three entries: s. a native dish of scraped taro or yam with expressed juice of cocoa-nut; v. 1. to be ashamed. 2. To adze smooth, to smooth.

Under fa it says s. 1. the stem of the taro and banana leaf. 2. The name of a fish. -ausi means a. good-looking, of men, bananas, &c. s. 1. the stick on which a fishing-net is hung in a huse. 2. The head fisherman who directs the others, lit. on whom they hang. v. to hang a fishing-net on.

Therefore fa-ausi means fairtaro.

se ki'o Hahaha! Why do you give flowers at funerals?

Samoan people come from the Samoan Islands in general or, in particular, the country Samoa (officially the Independent State of Samoa), which is in the western Samoan Islands, which are in the the south Pacific Ocean.

TONGA ALL THE WAY!

that's really not a question when Tonga always smashes Samoa in boxing, weight lifting and anything else that has to do with strength

"Girl, coming?" or "Girl, are you coming?"

Manu Samoa

Not all Samoans are large so you're question purely shows that you have biasness against Samoans in general. You get large people of ALL backgrounds. Why do people (IN GENERAL) get large? There are always a number of reasons...Hereditary effects, excessive eating, slow metabolism, etc.
