What is the Hawaiian translation for you were

The Hawaiian translation for "you were" depends on the context and the pronoun used. Here are a few options:

If referring to "you" (singular, informal)

* ʻOe iho (pronounced "oh-ay ee-ho") - This is the most literal translation and emphasizes "you yourself."

* ʻOe (pronounced "oh-ay") - This is a more informal and direct translation of "you."

If referring to "you" (plural, informal)

* ʻO ʻoukou (pronounced "oh oh-koo-koo") - This translates to "you all."

* ʻO ʻoukou iho (pronounced "oh oh-koo-koo ee-ho") - This emphasizes "you all yourselves."

If referring to "you" (formal, singular or plural)

* ʻO ʻoe (pronounced "oh oh-ay") - This is a formal way to say "you" (singular or plural).

* ʻO ʻoe iho (pronounced "oh oh-ay ee-ho") - This is a formal way to say "you yourself" (singular or plural).

In a sentence:

* ʻOe iho ma laila (pronounced "oh-ay ee-ho ma la-ee-la") - You were there.

* ʻO ʻoukou iho i ka hale (pronounced "oh oh-koo-koo ee-ho ee ka ha-lay") - You all were in the house.

Note: Hawaiian language is very nuanced, and the best translation depends on the specific context. It's always good to check with a native speaker to confirm the most accurate translation.
