How do you say OK in hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation for "OK" in Hawaiian. However, depending on the context, you can use these phrases:

Informal:

* 'A'ole pilikia (Ah-oh-lay pee-lee-kee-ah) - This literally means "no problem" and is a very common way to say OK in informal situations.

* Maika'i (My-kah-ee) - This means "good" and can be used to express agreement or acceptance.

* 'Ae (Ah-ay) - This is a simple "yes" and can be used to indicate agreement or acceptance.

* Komo mai (Koh-moh my) - This means "come in" and can be used to express agreement or acceptance, especially when someone is offering something.

Formal:

* Ua maika'i (Oo-ah my-kah-ee) - This means "it is good" and is a more formal way to say OK.

* Ua pololei (Oo-ah poh-loh-lay) - This means "it is correct" and can be used to indicate agreement or acceptance in a formal setting.

The best choice will depend on the situation and your relationship with the person you are speaking to.
