How do you say good morning in Hawaiian?

There are a few ways to say "good morning" in Hawaiian, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* Aloha kakahiaka: This is the most common and polite way to say "good morning". It literally translates to "hello morning".

Informal:

* Aloha awakea: This is a more casual way to say "good morning" and is more commonly used amongst friends and family. It translates to "hello awake".

* Aloha kakahiaka maikaʻi: This translates to "good morning" and is a more direct way to say it, similar to the English version.

You can also use "e komo mai", which means "welcome in", as a greeting in the morning.

Remember:

* Hawaiians often use "Aloha" as a greeting for any time of day, so it's always appropriate.
