Come Inside The House Of Knowledge Poem by richardo posto

The native hawaiian chants are called OLI's

the w is spoken as a v sound:



ao hea wale oy (where are you?)

kamalii o ke ao (children here today)


e komo ena kupu ika (come inside, little sprouts, into...)

hale na ao ao (the house of knowledge)

e ao mai (come and learn)

e ao mai

e ao mai


some hawaiian language words are:

MAHALO = THANK YOU

PAU = FINISHED

PAU HANA = FINISHED WORK

PONO = RIGHT, CORRECT

WAHINE = WOMAN (pronounced waa hee nay)

KANE = MAN (pronounces kah nay)
