Hawaii, April 8th (and 9th?) - Aloha Stadium! - Part XI

[Carek1230]

Good morning!

 

[Carek1230]

And to some:

Aloha Auina La

 

[tryan101]

good morning to you too.

(I googled)

 

[Carek1230]

I am at work on lunch break and reading my OAHU REVEALED book

 

[redsoxfan]

Hawaiian Phrase for today.........."aloha Kakahiaka" any guesses on meaning?

Now who is going to try and pronounce it?

 

[Carek1230]

Ka ka hi a ka

 

[Lila64]

in Hawaiian, every letter/vowel is pronounced. Your tip for the day

 

[Thora]

I was just going to say that, but you beat me to it, Lila!

 

[mobaby]

Put a smile on your hotel front desk people with that one. Its easy to pronounce this way...Ka-ka-hya-ka.
Say that 10 times really fast.

 

[mobaby]

oops, yes...."auina la" (awina-la) to some.

 

[topherchris9]

Oooh...maybe we can start talking in pidgin on here!
It'll take me forever to look up a sentence in the dictionary though.

 

[mobaby]

Hi topherchris9! Are you local Hawaiian?

So how do you say "good afternoon" and "good evening"? Won't arrive at my hotel until then and I'm aiming for an upgrade.

 

[mobaby]

aloha auina la is good afternoon. Aloha ahi ahi is evening.

 

[topherchris9]

Oh no, I'm not local. All my friends call me haole. I've lived here about a year, but picked up bits and pieces of Hawaiian and Pidgin here and there. I don't dare use it for real out in public though.

 

[mobaby]

yea, I wouldn't recommend trying pidgin to locals.
I'm part haole too...fourth Hawaiian, and a little Chinese in my toe.

 

[mobaby]

But a serious attempt at a Hawaiian language greeting should get at least a smile from hotel staff. I'd give any one who tried an upgraded room.

Topherchris, where did you use to live before? Would you ever go back? Is Oahu a good place for employment? Sorry for all the questions.

I have a question for topher and mobaby

Will this be your first U2 show?
I have a general question for everyone...I hope it has not already been talked about...I was wondering about the restrooms in the stadiums?
Thanks

 

[mobaby]

Hi CarmelU2fan. This will be my 7th I think. I'm also seeing them in Sydney on March 31(got cheap air tickets plus an eager family who always wanted to go to australia) I didn't know they were coming to Hawaii at the time I booked australia. BUT..I've never done GA so if I get GA's....I guess it would be considered a first. What exactly were you wondering about the restrooms?

 

[Carmelu2fan]

How many restrooms are there in the average stadium..I have never been to a stadium concert before. I once went to a stadium when I was a small child and I do remember walking really far to get to the restroom.
I am sorry if I am bringing u a topic that has been discussed already.

BTW- YOU are one lucky soul!!! I would love to see U2 in Sydney..oh yeah you can call me Carmel
