I am a native English speaker living in California, currently learning Hawaiian and hoping to use this platform for Hawaiian practice! Also some Spanish and German.

Pronouns: ʻO ia — yes Hawaiian is largely gender neutral, isn’t that awesome? In English, she/her will do the job, but what I really want is for English to grow to accept gender neutral pronouns as the default. Won’t it be nice when “he” and “she” become almost as rare as “thou”?

#Skyline's final stop (for now) is #Halawa Station, providing residents access to the condemned and eventually-to-be-demolished Aloha Stadium. Talk is ongoing related to the future of the surrounding area, but for now, the station will serve as more of a #transit hub, with a large park-and-ride lot and various options for catching The Bus into town, or riding the #rail out to #Kapolei. #Hawaii #Honolulu

Ilapsg'smu'gwet (i·laps·kê·sê·muu·gwet)

Ilapsg'smu'gwet means to go lie down for a nap.

A leopard rests on a thick tree branch, partially hidden by greenery. In the background, another leopard can be seen, and there are remnants of prey nearby, suggesting the area is a resting spot after a hunt.

@te_reo_bot should have waited until the 26th? :blobcatcoy:

Tegismit (de·gi·sê·mit)

Tegismit means they swim.

Two children are playing in a swimming pool, wearing bright sunglasses and enjoying the water. One child is floating on a colorful inflatable, while the other is splashing nearby. Sunlight reflects off the water, creating a lively, fun atmosphere.
