How do you say sleepy in hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation for "sleepy" in Hawaiian. However, you can use phrases to convey the meaning:

* "Hiamoe" (hee-ah-moh-eh) means "to sleep" or "to be asleep." You could say "Ua hiamoe au" (oo-ah hee-ah-moh-eh ow) which means "I am sleepy" or "I am tired."

* "Luhi" (loo-hee) means "tired" or "exhausted," and can also be used to convey sleepiness. You could say "Ua luhi au" (oo-ah loo-hee ow) meaning "I am tired" or "I am sleepy."

* "Mālie" (mah-lee-eh) means "calm" or "peaceful" and can also be used to convey a relaxed or sleepy state. You could say "Ua mālie au" (oo-ah mah-lee-eh ow) meaning "I am calm" or "I am sleepy."

It's important to note that these are just a few options, and the best way to convey "sleepy" in Hawaiian will depend on the specific context.
