How do you say journey in hawaiian?

There isn't a single, perfect Hawaiian word for "journey" that captures all the nuances of the English word. However, depending on the context, you could use a few different options:

For a general sense of travel or a trip:

* Huakaʻi (hoo-ah-kah-ee): This is the most common word for "journey" or "trip" in Hawaiian. It can be used for any kind of travel, whether by land, sea, or air.

For a more specific type of journey, you could use:

* Holo (hoh-loh): This means "to fly" or "to travel by air."

* Holo ka moana (hoh-loh kah moh-ah-nah): This literally means "to fly over the ocean," and is used to describe a sea voyage.

* Hele (heh-leh): This means "to go" or "to walk," and can be used for a journey on foot or by land.

* Keaka (kay-ah-kah): This means "to act" or "to perform," but it can also be used to describe a journey that is full of challenges and adventures.

For a more metaphorical or spiritual sense of journey:

* Hele i ka ʻike (heh-leh ee kah ee-keh): This means "to go on a journey of knowledge."

* Hele i ka manaʻo (heh-leh ee kah mah-nah-oh): This means "to go on a journey of thought."

The best word to use will depend on the specific context of your journey.
