How do you say lady in hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation for "lady" in Hawaiian that captures the same formality or respect as in English.

Here are some options depending on the context:

Formal:

* Wahine: This is the most common word for "woman" in Hawaiian, and it can be used respectfully.

* Ka wahine: This literally means "the woman" and adds a level of formality and respect.

Informal:

* 'Anakē: This means "young woman" and is often used for someone who is younger than you or someone you are close to.

* Kūpuna wahine: This means "elder woman" and is used respectfully for a woman who is older or in a position of authority.

Other:

* Lede: This is a Hawaiian word for "lady" but it is not used as commonly as the other options.

The best choice depends on the specific situation and your relationship with the woman you are addressing.
