How do you say boys in Hawaiian?

There isn't a single perfect translation for "boys" in Hawaiian. It depends on the context and the specific meaning you want to convey:

General "boys":

* Nā keiki kāne: This is the most literal translation, meaning "the male children." It's a broad term that covers all boys.

* Nā kāne: This means "the males" and can also be used to refer to boys, especially if you're talking about a group of older boys.

Young boys:

* Nā keiki liʻiliʻi kāne: This translates to "the small male children."

* Nā keiki kane: This is a more specific term for young boys.

Teenage boys:

* Nā ʻōpio kāne: This translates to "the young men," and specifically refers to teenage boys.

Other considerations:

* You could also use the word "huaʻai" which means "young person," and add "kāne" for "male" to make it "huaʻai kāne," which would be "young male person."

Ultimately, the best translation depends on the specific context and the age group you're referring to.
