How do you say nothing compares to in hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation for "nothing compares to" in Hawaiian that captures the same sentiment. It's more about conveying the idea of something being superior or exceptional. Here are some options depending on the context:

Emphasizing superiority:

* ʻAʻole mea ʻē aʻe e like me... (No other thing is like...) This emphasizes that nothing else is comparable.

* ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o... (Better than...) This emphasizes that something is better than all others.

* He mea kūikawā loa... (It's very special/unique) This highlights the exceptional quality of something.

Emphasizing the specialness of something:

* He mea kupanaha... (It's amazing) This emphasizes the wonder and awe inspired by something.

* He mea nani loa... (It's very beautiful) This emphasizes the aesthetic appeal of something.

* He mea aloha loa... (It's very loved/cherished) This emphasizes the emotional attachment to something.

Examples:

* ʻAʻole mea ʻē aʻe e like me ke aloha o koʻu ʻohana. (Nothing compares to the love of my family.)

* ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻai ʻana i ka lau lau ma kahakai. (It's better than eating luau on the beach.)

* He mea kūikawā loa ʻo Hawaiʻi. (Hawaii is very special.)

Ultimately, the best way to express "nothing compares to" in Hawaiian depends on the specific situation and what you want to emphasize.
