How do you say light in hawaiian?

There isn't one single Hawaiian word for "light" that covers all meanings. It depends on the context. Here are some options:

* Mālamalama: This is the most common word for "light" as in illumination. It can refer to physical light, but also to spiritual enlightenment.

* ʻŌlinolino: This word refers to the "dawn" or "sunrise," and can be used to describe the first light of day.

* Mālamalama: This word also refers to "light" in the sense of being bright or shining, like a light source.

The best way to determine the appropriate word is to consider the context of your sentence. For example, if you are talking about the light from a lamp, you would use "mālamalama." If you are talking about the light of the sun, you might use "ʻōlinolino."
