What does the Samoan word toluao mean in English?
I feel this could be a chiefly title (matai). So if I break it up into two words, tolu is three, ao is head. So I am surmising that this would be literally speaking, "three heads" (head of a family or "three leaders".
How do you pronounce 'Oute alofa ia oe'?
NOTE: The Hawaiian language is a phonetic language (almost like Spanish). Please keep that in mind when pronouncing the italicized words. It is also important that each vowel and/or diacritical mark in each word is pronounced clearly and correctly. Why? Because:
au (ah-oo) = I
ao (ah-oh) = Cloud
u'i (oo-'ee) = Beautiful
ui (oo-wee) = To ask
'āina ('aah-yeenah) = Land
aina (ahyee-nah) = Sexual intercourse
Actually, I think you are referring to the phrase Aloha (w)au iā 'oe. It means "I love you". I put the "w" in parenthesis because wau is the variation of au (please see example above). Usually, people say wau when they're using this phrase. Anyway, here's the pronunciation:
Aloha au iā 'oe. / Aloha wau iā 'oe.
(ah-lo-ha ah-oo ee-YAH 'oh-weh.) / (ah-lo-ha va-oo ee-YAH 'oh-weh.)
The horizontal line above the "a" is called a kahakō, or macron, and indicates an elongation in the indicated vowel. In this case, the "a" in iā is elongated, and is so illustrated by the capitalized letters in the parenthesis.
The mark before the "o" in 'oe is called an 'okina, equivalent to a glottal stop.

Do Samoans have black descendants?
It is not likely that Samoans would have Black descendant's However, it could be possible. The theory of Samoan origin states that the first Polynesians came way of south east Asia It seems very likely based on the evidence that supports this theory. However we can not be 100% certain that there were no other detours or groups that wondered off track. I have studied Samoan History and Polynesian Migration for a few years now, and it all seems to add up. What doesn't is the fact that there are strange similarities in traditional Samoan practices with that of ancient Egypt First off the ancient Egyptians worshiped a Sun god called RA. The Samoan word for Sun is La. It sounds very similar, just that the R has changed to a L. The Egyptians also wore a head dress made of horse hair and it was only for royalty. Just the same Samoans wear a head dress called a Tuiga that was traditionally made of actual human hair from different family members combined to form something like a wig, which is usually worn only by the Virgin Daughter of chiefs, (Taupou). Another is the staff. In Samoa the Staff, or the stick held by the talking chief is a symbol of stability and strength, I found the same thing in Egypt Aside from these types of coincidence's there are the names along the cost of Africa that sound very much like Samoan names or Polynesian names. So to really answer the question I would have to say that it is more likely that Samoans or the group of people of which Polynesians and Samoans descend could have lived and worked side by side with black people or Africans they may have even mixed it up a little. I had a Black instructor in college who once said to me "some Samoans look more African than the African Americans in the U.S."
What are three types of sports or recreation enjoyed by the Samoans?
it all depends. Being Samoan myself its usually because at a young age sports were one of the only things that elders knew to get into college. But overall Some Samoans are forced to play sports.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that Samoans are "forced" to play sport. Samoans are like any other nationality with people who are naturally gifted at sport, and people who are not. Yes there are large numbers of Samoan athletes in professional sports, but that does not mean that there are NOT a large number who are academics. Saying that sports is the only way to get into college is abit of a presumption seeing Samoans do not only live in the U.S...AND there are HUGE numbers of Samoans who are in college/university simply on their own educational merit.

Can anyone translate this phrase from Samoan. manuia fa'afa tai lava?
I'm wondering if what you are trying to say is, "Ia alofa aku fo'i isi o'u uso (rather than US) ma kmaiki ia ma oe le faletua". If this is so, then it translates thus: "Love too to my brother (assuming it's a guy who's talking) and children and you the wife".
Do Samoan women like black guys?
It's not that we dont like dating black women. It's that we "LOVE" dating black women! Or any other women for that matter. We dont have a preferences when it comes to dating outside our race. Especially our women. We like/love all races!
