How do you say yes we can in Hawaiian?

While there isn't a direct equivalent of "Yes, we can" in Hawaiian, here are a few ways to express a similar sentiment:

Formal:

* ʻAe, hiki iā kākou. (pronounced "ay, hee-kee ee-ah kah-kow") - This translates literally to "Yes, it is possible for us." It implies that something is achievable, but with a formal tone.

Informal:

* ʻAe, e hiki iā kākou. (pronounced "ay, eh hee-kee ee-ah kah-kow") - This is similar to the formal version, but with the addition of "e" (eh) which makes it more casual.

* Hiki iā kākou. (pronounced "hee-kee ee-ah kah-kow") - This simply means "It is possible for us," and it's the most direct and informal way to express the idea.

* Eia kākou! (pronounced "ay-yah kah-kow") - This translates to "Here we are!" It's an encouraging exclamation that suggests readiness and capability.

The best choice depends on the context and the tone you want to convey.
