How do you say hate in Hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation for "hate" in Hawaiian that carries the same strong negative connotation. The Hawaiian language emphasizes positivity and interconnectedness, and it's rare to find words expressing extreme negativity.

However, you could use these options to convey similar meanings:

* ʻAʻole makemake: This literally translates to "not like," which could be used to express dislike or aversion.

* Ināʻole: This means "if not," suggesting a lack of positive feeling or interest.

* Hoʻopaʻapaʻa: This means "to argue" or "to disagree," which can be used to express conflict or antagonism.

It's important to remember that using these words in a Hawaiian context may not carry the same weight as "hate" in English. The Hawaiian culture prioritizes respect, understanding, and forgiveness, so expressions of hatred are generally avoided.
