How do you say twilight in hawaiian?

There isn't a single word in Hawaiian that directly translates to "twilight." However, you can use phrases to describe the specific aspect of twilight you want to convey:

For the time period:

* ʻAuinalā (ʻauina-lā): This translates to "evening sun" and refers to the time just before sunset.

* ʻAhiahi (a-hi-a-hi): This means "afternoon/evening" and could be used for twilight in general.

* Po (po): This means "night" but could be used to refer to the time when dusk transitions into night.

For the visual aspect:

* ʻĀhihi (ā-hi-hi): This means "glow" or "brightness," and can be used to describe the soft light of twilight.

* Pōmaikaʻi (pō-maikaʻi): This translates to "fortunate" or "blessed," and could be used to describe the beauty of the twilight sky.

Putting it together, you could say:

* ʻAuinalā ʻāhihi: "Evening sun glow"

* ʻAhiahi pōmaikaʻi: "Blessed evening"

* Po ʻāhihi: "Glow of night"

The best phrase to use would depend on the specific context and meaning you want to convey.
