1. E kali ana au e hālāwai me ʻoe (Eh ka-lee a-na ow e ha-la-wa-ee meh eh-oh-eh) - This is the most literal translation, meaning "I am waiting to meet with you." It's formal and emphasizes the act of waiting.
2. E kali au e hālāwai me ʻoe (Eh ka-lee ow e ha-la-wa-ee meh eh-oh-eh) - This is a slightly less formal version, omitting the "ana" which indicates a continuous action. It still means "I am waiting to meet with you," but without emphasizing the duration of the wait.
3. Ke kali nei au e hālāwai me ʻoe (Keh ka-lee ney ow e ha-la-wa-ee meh eh-oh-eh) - This is a more poetic and dramatic way to say "I am waiting to meet you," using the word "nei" which adds a sense of anticipation or excitement.
4. E hālāwai kākou (Eh ha-la-wa-ee ka-kow) - This means "Let's meet" and doesn't directly translate "wait," but implies a shared expectation of meeting. This is a more casual and direct approach.
5. E hālāwai kākou i ka manawa kūpono (Eh ha-la-wa-ee ka-kow ee ka ma-na-wa koo-po-no) - This means "Let's meet when the time is right," implying a future meeting but leaving the timing open. This is a polite and flexible option.
The best choice depends on the specific situation and relationship between the speakers. For example, if you're talking to a close friend, you might use a more casual phrase like "E hālāwai kākou." But if you're talking to someone you don't know well, you might use a more formal phrase like "E kali ana au e hālāwai me ʻoe."
