How do you say nut in hawaiian?

There isn't a single, direct translation for "nut" in Hawaiian. It depends on the specific type of nut you're referring to:

* General "nut": You could use the word "hua", which generally means "fruit" but can also refer to nuts. However, it's not as specific as "nut".

* Specific nuts: For specific types of nuts, you would use the Hawaiian name for that particular nut. For example:

* Peanut: "Nānī"

* Macadamia nut: "Kī**

* Coconut: "Niu"

* Almond: "Amona" (borrowed from English)

Example:

* "I like to eat macadamia nuts."

* "Makemake au e ʻai i ka kī."

Remember: While "hua" can be used generally for "nut," using the specific name for a particular nut is more precise and will be better understood.
