Any one able to help me out. A sample phrase: I am looking for a brief phrase that says the following in traditional Hawaiian. The people of Ahi Maku believe a person is blessed at birth by the gods with power they need to accomplish their lifes mission. gives the person the talent, skill, strength to over come the challenges they will face in life.

I just loved that Tongue tied segment on The Colbert Report, our native languages teacher showed it to us, usually Colbert is not funny, a lot of times he is hilarious but to be funny in this reality is subjective. I went to residential school, the teachers and staff of these schools used corporal punishment to silence our native tongue. Well I am taking my language at a white instuition 35 years after another white institution took it away, honestly the irony is too much. Hi there or should I say “HADIH”
Soo in’t'oh

The problem is for a language to really be alive it has to have a critial number of native speakers or continue to transform the language.
