How you say I agree in Hawaiian?

There's no single, direct translation for "I agree" in Hawaiian. However, here are a few ways to express agreement in Hawaiian:

* ʻAe (pronounced "ay-ay") is the most common way to say "yes" or "okay" and implies agreement.

* ʻAe, ʻoiaʻiʻo (pronounced "ay-ay, oh-ee-ah-ee-oh") means "Yes, that's true" and conveys agreement with a statement.

* ʻAe, he ʻoiaʻiʻo (pronounced "ay-ay, hey oh-ee-ah-ee-oh") means "Yes, it's true" and also implies agreement.

* Maikaʻi (pronounced "my-kah-ee") means "good" or "okay" and can be used to indicate agreement.

* ʻAe, maikaʻi (pronounced "ay-ay, my-kah-ee") combines "yes" and "good" for a more emphatic agreement.

* Ua ʻae au (pronounced "oo-ah ay-ay ow") means "I agree" literally.

The best option to use depends on the context and the specific situation.
