What does e mean in hawaiian?

The letter "e" in Hawaiian doesn't have a specific meaning. It's a vowel, just like in English, and it's pronounced similarly. However, its pronunciation can vary slightly depending on its position in a word and the surrounding letters.

Here's a breakdown of the different "e" sounds in Hawaiian:

* Short "e" sound: Like the "e" in "bed" - examples: ele, ehu, eka

* Long "e" sound: Like the "e" in "see" - examples: ē, ēia, ēheu

* Mid "e" sound: A sound in between short and long "e" - examples: ekahi, elua, elima

Therefore, it's more accurate to say that "e" represents a sound rather than a specific meaning in the Hawaiian language.
