Party Game Suggestions:

  • Give the ladies a grass skirt and have a hula competition.  You'll be laughing in no time.
  • How about translating your guests names into Hawaiin and make name tags.

Here's How:

The Hawaiian alphabet only has 13 letters!

 

A, E, H, I K, L, M, N, O, P, U and W And the consonants are produced

like they are in English. H, K, L, M, N, P, W

If a name ends in a consonant then you need to add a vowel.

And there must always be a vowel between consonants.

The Hawaiian vowels are pronounced as follows.

A – ah     E – ay    I– ee

O– oh       U – oo

Now letter match up other English letters with Hawaiian letter


P = B, F, P

K= C, D, G, J, K, S, T, X, Z

L = L, R

W = V, W

I = J, Y

Here are some examples

Sarah = Kalaha

Jeff = Kepapa

Alice = Alike

Andrew = Anakinewa

Have fun using these names for the evening
