How do you say grandpa in Hawaiian?
Tutu IS used in Hawaii as a term for grandparent, but it is not a Hawaiian word. There is no letter "t" in the Hawaiian alphabet. Often, the letter "k" is substituted for the letter "t" for similar South Pacific words like taro = karo and the ti plant is the ki plant in Hawaiian. However, I have not heard the term kuku for grandparent. It is my understanding that the appropriate word for grandparent is "kupuna;" translated as respected elder. Kane IS the Hawaiian word for man. It is pronounced "kah nay," NOT "kah nee," The letter "e" is pronounced as "ay." When pronouncing Hawaiian words think of Spanish pronunciations. Wahine is the Hawaiian word for woman. It is pronounced "wah hee nay." So, grandfather is "kupuna Kane" and grandmother is "kupuna wahine" in the Hawaiian language.
