How do you say teenager in hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation for "teenager" in Hawaiian.

However, you can use phrases that describe the age range:

* 'Ōpio (pronounced oh-pee-oh): This means "young person" or "youth" and could be used to refer to teenagers.

* Kamaliʻi'ōpio (pronounced kah-mah-lee-ee oh-pee-oh): This literally means "young child" but can also be used to describe adolescents.

* Nui 'ōpio (pronounced noo-ee oh-pee-oh): This means "large youth" and might be a more specific way to describe a teenager.

You could also use the age range directly:

* ʻUmi makahiki a ʻumi mākahiku (pronounced oo-mee mah-kah-hee-kee ah oo-mee mah-kah-hee-koo): This means "13 to 17 years old".

Ultimately, the best way to refer to a teenager in Hawaiian depends on the context and the specific age you're trying to describe.
