How do you say Hawaiian?

"Hawaiian" is already the correct way to say it in English.

However, if you're asking how to say it in Hawaiian, it's "Hawaiʻi" (pronounced "ha-vy-ee").

Here are some other things to keep in mind:

* The ʻokina (ʻ) is a glottal stop, like the sound at the beginning of "uh-oh."

* The macron (¯) indicates a long vowel sound.

So, the correct pronunciation is:

* Ha (like "ha" in "hat")

* vy (like "vi" in "vivid")

* ee (like "ee" in "see")
