How do you say Mrs. in hawaiian?

There isn't a direct equivalent of "Mrs." in Hawaiian, as the language doesn't use titles like "Mr.", "Mrs.", or "Miss" in the same way.

Here's how you'd typically address a married woman in Hawaiian:

* Use her name: The most common and respectful way is to simply use the woman's name. For example, "Aloha, [woman's name]."

* Use a title with the name: You can use titles like "Kumu" (Teacher) or "Poʻokela" (Leader) if applicable.

* Use a respectful term: You can use "ʻAunty" (aunt, used as a general term of respect for older women) or "Sister" (used for women slightly older than you).

Remember, Hawaiian culture values respect and humility. Focus on using respectful language and showing proper deference to the woman you're addressing.
