How do you say peach in Hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation for "peach" in Hawaiian. The closest word is pīkī, which refers to a small, round, juicy fruit. However, it is not a specific term for peaches and can also refer to other fruits like plums or apricots.

To be clear, you could say:

* Pīkī ʻapilikia (pīkī + the English word "peach")

* Pīkī mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa (pīkī from the United States)

Both options emphasize that you're talking about a peach.
