How do you say litttle person in hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation of "little person" in Hawaiian that refers to a person of short stature.

However, you can use these phrases to convey the idea:

* Keiki liʻiliʻi: This literally translates to "small child," but can also be used to describe a small person in a general sense.

* Kanaka liʻiliʻi: This translates to "small person." This is a more general term and could be considered a little less polite than "keiki liʻiliʻi."

* Kanaka ʻīkē: This translates to "short person" and is a more direct way to describe someone of short stature.

It's important to note that the specific choice of phrasing will depend on the context and the tone you are trying to convey.

It's always best to be respectful and sensitive when discussing someone's physical characteristics.
