How do you say I miss and love in the Hawaiian language?

"I miss and love you" in Hawaiian can be said in a couple of ways, depending on the level of formality and the specific nuance you want to convey. Here are a few options:

Formal:

* Aloha wau iā ʻoe a ke aloha nei au iā ʻoe. (This is the most literal translation, meaning "I love you and I am loving you.")

Informal:

* Aloha wau iā ʻoe a ke aloha nei au iā ʻoe. (This is the same as the formal version, but it can be used in casual settings.)

* Ke aloha nei au iā ʻoe a ke nānā nei au iā ʻoe. (This phrase conveys the feeling of missing someone while still loving them. It literally translates to "I am loving you and I am looking for you.")

* Ke aloha nei au iā ʻoe a ke ʻike nei au iā ʻoe. (This phrase is similar to the previous one, but emphasizes the longing for the person. It translates to "I am loving you and I am thinking of you.")

Using 'missing' directly:

* Ke nalowale nei au iā ʻoe a ke aloha nei au iā ʻoe. (This translates to "I am missing you and I am loving you.")

The best way to say it depends on the context and your relationship with the person. It's always a good idea to choose the phrase that feels most natural and genuine to you.

Remember that "aloha" is a very powerful word in Hawaiian culture, encompassing love, affection, compassion, and respect. Using it correctly shows your understanding and appreciation for the language.
