How do you say friends in hawaiin?

There isn't a single word for "friends" in Hawaiian. Instead, you would use the word "makaʻāina" which means "friend" or "companion."

Here's how you could use it:

* "He mau makaʻāina koʻu." (I have many friends.)

* "ʻO ia kaʻu makaʻāina ponoʻī." (He/She is my best friend.)

You can also use the word "hoa" which means "companion" or "associate" in a more formal context.

It's important to note that "makaʻāina" and "hoa" have slightly different connotations, and the appropriate choice depends on the context.
