How you say how are in hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation for "how are you" in Hawaiian like there is in English. However, there are a few ways to express a similar sentiment:

* Pehea ʻoe? (pronounced peh-hay oh-eh) - This is the most common and literal translation, meaning "How are you?" It's a formal way to ask.

* ʻEhia ʻoe? (pronounced eh-hee-ah oh-eh) - This is a more informal way to ask "How are you?"

* Aloha ʻoe? (pronounced ah-loh-hah oh-eh) - While literally meaning "Hello, you," it can also be used as a friendly greeting that implies asking "How are you?"

* Maikaʻi? (pronounced my-kah-ee) - Meaning "good," this can be used as a short, friendly way to ask "Are you well?"

The best way to choose which phrase to use depends on the situation and your relationship with the person you're talking to.
