What is the Hawaiian word for girl?

There isn't a single word for "girl" in Hawaiian. However, there are different ways to express it depending on the context and age of the girl:

For a young girl:

* Kaikamahine: This literally means "little woman" and is used for a young girl.

* Wahine ʻōpio: This translates to "young woman" and can be used for a teenage girl.

For a young woman/teenager:

* Wahine: This simply means "woman" and can be used for a young woman.

For a female child in general:

* Keiki wahine: This means "female child" and is a more general term.

The best way to use the correct word depends on the specific situation and the age of the girl.
