What is the hawaiian word for sisters?

There isn't one specific Hawaiian word for "sisters" in the sense of siblings. The way you would express "sisters" in Hawaiian depends on the context:

If you're talking about sisters as siblings:

* Kaikuahine: This word literally means "younger sister," but it's often used to refer to any sister, regardless of age.

* Kaikuahine nui: This means "older sister."

* Nā kaikuaʻane: This is the plural form of "kaikuahine" and would be used to refer to multiple sisters.

If you're talking about sisters in a more general sense, like in a sorority or a group of close friends:

* ʻAnakala: This word means "sister" in a broader sense, like a female friend or associate.

Example:

* "My sisters are all coming to visit." - "ʻO nā kaikuahine aʻu a pau e hele mai ana e kipa."

* "I have a younger sister." - "He kaikuahine ʻōpio ʻo wau."

Ultimately, the best way to express "sisters" in Hawaiian depends on the specific context and what you want to convey.
