I used the term “ʻĀina Pākē” in my Hawaiian class and kumu said that is fine if you want to say “the land of the Chinese” but if you want to say “China” the name of the country is “Kina.” #languageDrops has taught me “ʻĀina Pākē” while #uTalk teaches “Kina” — l just lost another unit of trust in Drops :blobcatangery: #ŌleloHawaiʻi #ʻōlelo #hawaiʻi #OleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #olelo #hawaii

Yesterday I updated my #introduction with my pronouns, & a little screed about how Hawaiian lacks the gendered badness of English pronouns. But Hawaiian pronouns also have some positive good features that English doesn’t have! Did you know that in Hawaiian there are two shades of “we”? One that includes the person you’re talking to (kākou) and one that specifically excludes them (mākou). Now THAT is useful information!!! #ŌleloHawaiʻi #ʻōlelo #hawaiʻi #OleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #olelo

#Duolingo recently changed the design for the final section of the Hawaiian course. I was so excited that they introduced Hawaiian-themed graphics specifically for this course! Then I looked at the other courses and realized that this lava-jumping graphic was applied across all the different languages. :blobcatohno: #ŌleloHawaiʻi #ʻōlelo #hawaiʻi #OleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #olelo #hawaii
