Aloha mai kākou,

Simple and sweet, today’s word is “kaikamahine”(kye ka ma hee nay), meaning girl, daughter or niece etc.  It refers to a single girl, but if there are more than one girl, then you’d say “he mau kaikamahine” (hay mao kye ka ma hee ne).  We’ll have to explore into numbers and counting soon, which might make things a bit easier. 

A hui hou,


Haunani
