How do you say okay in hawaiian?

There isn't a single word in Hawaiian that perfectly translates to "okay" in the same way it is used in English.

Here are some options, depending on the context:

* "Ae": This is the most common word, meaning "yes" or "okay" in the sense of agreement or acceptance.

* "Maikaʻi": This means "good" or "well," and can be used as a response to "How are you?" or as a general way of saying "okay."

* "Pono": This means "right" or "correct," and could be used to indicate something is satisfactory or acceptable.

* "Ua maikaʻi": This translates to "it's good" or "it's okay" and is used to confirm something is alright.

* "ʻAʻole pilikia": This means "no problem" and can be used to express that something is okay or acceptable.

It's best to choose the phrase that best fits the context and your intended meaning.
