How do you say forever and always in Hawaiian?

There's no single direct translation for "forever and always" in Hawaiian, but here are some ways to express that sentiment:

Literal Translations:

* Mau loa: "Forever"

* Mau mau: "Always"

Phrases:

* Mau loa a mau loa: "Forever and ever" (literally, "forever to forever")

* Mau mau i ka wā a pau: "Always for all time"

* Mau loa ke aloha: "Love forever" (using the word "aloha" for love)

* ʻO ka noho ʻana me ʻoe i ka wā a pau: "To live with you forever" (more poetic and literal)

Consider:

* Context: The best translation depends on the context of your statement. For example, "forever and always" in a love poem might have a different nuance than "forever and always" in a promise.

* Emphasis: You can emphasize "forever" or "always" by using one of the words twice, or by choosing a more poetic phrase.

Ultimately, the best way to express "forever and always" in Hawaiian is to choose the phrase that best fits the context and your intended meaning.
