How do you say goddess in Hawaiian?

There isn't a single, direct translation of "goddess" in Hawaiian. The concept of a deity, particularly a female one, is often expressed through specific names or titles within Hawaiian mythology.

Here are some ways to express the idea of a "goddess" in Hawaiian:

* 'Akua Wahine: This literally translates to "female god" and is a general term that can be used for any female deity.

* Specific Goddess Names: You could use the name of a specific Hawaiian goddess, such as:

* Hina: Goddess of the moon, fertility, and childbirth.

* Pele: Goddess of volcanoes, fire, and lava.

* Laka: Goddess of hula and the forest.

* Kū: A powerful god, but often associated with feminine qualities and fertility.

* 'Aumākua: This refers to a family or individual's guardian deity. While not exclusively female, this term could be used to describe a goddess who serves as a protector or guide.

Ultimately, the best way to express "goddess" in Hawaiian depends on the context and the specific deity you have in mind.
