Today’s Lesson:
The Hawaiian language:
The 5 vowels a,e,i,o and u as well as the 7 consonants h,k,l,m,n,p, and w make up the entire Hawaiian alphabet…
In the Hawaiian language a consonant is always followed by a vowel which also means all Hawaiian words end in a vowel…
Thus your lesson for today (smiles)…
Interesting! I never knew that but then again how could I have known?
@sillysillysandee Perhaps you need to take a Hawaiian vacation (and study up on it)…
Smiles…………
@mauijim You know, If I were to take a vacation to somewhere warm, it would be Hawaii. One day. 🙂

They do seem to love those vowels. H and w seem pretty vowelish to me. The sounds are all moving air.
@sleepygene Yes… and W at the start of a word is pronounced W… but within the word it is pronounced V…
