How do you say the in Hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation for "the" in Hawaiian. The definite article "the" is not used in the same way in Hawaiian as it is in English.

Instead of using "the", Hawaiian uses context and the placement of words within a sentence to convey definiteness.

For example:

* "The book" in English could be translated as "ka puke" in Hawaiian.

* "The house" in English could be translated as "ka hale" in Hawaiian.

The use of "ka" before the noun is what indicates that the noun is definite (meaning it is a specific book or house).

So, "the" in Hawaiian is implied through context and the use of "ka" or other grammatical markers.
