How do you say betrothed in hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation for "betrothed" in Hawaiian. The concept of a formal betrothal isn't as prominent in traditional Hawaiian culture as it is in some others.

However, you could use the phrase "i hoʻohiki ʻia" which translates to "promised" or "pledged." This can be used to indicate that two people are committed to each other, similar to being betrothed.

Here are some other options, depending on the context:

* "Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia lāua" - This means "They are bound together" and implies a strong connection between them.

* "Ua hoʻohiki ʻia lāua e mare" - This translates to "They are promised to marry" and directly references marriage.

It's important to note that these phrases don't have the same legal or social implications as "betrothed" in some cultures. They convey the idea of a commitment or promise but might not be used in the same formal way.
