Hawaiian is not really a spoken language here - at least not where I live. But there are a number of very cool words you can string together into a kind of philosophy (or maybe just a to do list). These are some of my favorites.
ho'oponopono: to correct or make right, find balance
holoholo: to go out walking for fun
hele wawae: to go barefoot
i kai: toward the sea
There's also a great bit of slang that doesn't really have a literal translation, but pretty much captures the spirit of the islands: "da kine" or whatever, bra. Words to live by, or at least roll around on your tongue for awhile!
