What is the Samoan name for jewel?

There isn't a single, direct Samoan translation for "jewel." The Samoan language often uses descriptive terms or metaphors to convey the idea of a jewel. Here are a few possibilities:

Descriptive:

* "O le mea e matagofie" (literally "the thing that is beautiful")

* "O le mea e taua" (literally "the thing that is precious")

* "O le mea e iloga" (literally "the thing that is prominent" or "stand out")

Metaphorical:

* "O le fata o le lagi" (literally "the star of the sky") – this can be used to refer to something beautiful and rare, like a jewel.

* "O le taʻimua o le moana" (literally "the pearl of the ocean") – this can be used to refer to something valuable and precious, like a jewel.

The best translation would depend on the specific context and the type of jewel being referred to.
