How do say no hurry in Hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation of "no hurry" in Hawaiian that carries the same exact meaning. However, you can convey the concept in a few ways:

1. "ʻAʻole wikiwiki" (ah-oh-leh wee-kee-wee-kee): This literally translates to "not fast" or "not in a hurry," and is a very common way to express that you're not rushing.

2. "ʻAʻole pono e wikiwiki" (ah-oh-leh po-no eh wee-kee-wee-kee): This means "it's not necessary to be in a hurry," emphasizing that rushing isn't needed.

3. "Mālie" (mah-lee-eh): This means "slow" or "calm" and can be used to convey a sense of relaxed pace.

4. "E ʻoluʻolu" (eh oh-loo-oo-loo): This translates to "please" and can be used to politely request someone to not hurry.

5. "ʻAʻole pilikia" (ah-oh-leh pee-lee-kee-ah): This means "no problem" or "it's okay" and can be used to indicate that you're not bothered by a delay.

The best way to say "no hurry" in Hawaiian will depend on the specific context and your relationship with the person you're talking to.
