* Kī - This is the most common word used for "tea" in Hawaiian. It's a general term for any kind of tea, including black tea, green tea, and herbal tea.
* Ti - This word specifically refers to "tea plant" (Camellia sinensis).
* Wai kī - This literally means "tea water" and is used to refer to the beverage itself.
* 'Aina kī - This translates to "tea land" and refers to a tea plantation.
So, depending on what you're referring to, you could say:
* "E makemake ana au i ka kī." (I want some tea.)
* "Ua ulu ka ti ma ka 'āina kī." (The tea plant grows on the tea plantation.)
It's also important to note that while "kī" is widely used, some people prefer to use the English word "tea" directly.
