How do you say tortoise in Hawaiian?

There isn't a single, direct translation for "tortoise" in Hawaiian.

* Honu: This is the most common term used in Hawaiian, but it refers specifically to sea turtles.

* 'Ōpae'ula: This term is used for freshwater shrimp, but it can sometimes be used colloquially for small, terrestrial turtles.

However, if you want to be precise, you could use the English word "tortoise" or the scientific term "Testudines" in Hawaiian.
