this little book is a hidden treasure!I know,for I spent most of my life growing up in the islands.
hawaii is a place unique in the sense that the spirit and the beauty can actually be captured by the words in the language...I highly recomend these priceless pages of fun and enjoyment.if for no other reason than to learn a new word to describe something...the languageis sweet,the words simple,and "the new pocket hawiian dictionary"no ka oi! mahalo to the authors!!!!

This pocket dictionary is a real treasure, especially when you are a turist. Here you can find everything you need for every situation. For the first time you can feel like you know what are you talking about in a language which isn't your mother tounge.In a short time you can learn all the words you need for a basic comunication and even more. I can only say that you have to have this book, even if you don't plan to go to Hawaii. After reading and learning from this dictionary you will want to speak Hawaiian all the time. What to say - cool!

This book has around 11,000 words with adequate definitions.

I like the fact that the people that compiled this dictionary included names and even a guide to assist in pronounciation.

This nook is not an exhaustive researh on the Hawaiian language; but will greatly assist in research; Two Bears.

Aloha nui loa (I love you very much).

This book has really helped improve my Hawaiian and is alot of fun if you love learning new languages especially one as beautiful as the Hawaiian language! Thanks for selling such a great book! Anyone planning a Hawaiian vacation needs this book!

I recently found an old friend I used to see 40 years ago. He had moved back to Hawii. I'm having fun learning his language. He sends me e-mails in Hawaiian and I translate them now...fun.

Have owned this book for several years. Comes in handy for all manner of translation

This is an easy cross reference book. This book was part of the selection of books at a home we stayed at on the Bid Island, and I was happy to find it on Amazon. I am having fun with it.

I purchased this book before we went to Hawaii on vacation. It wasn't really necessary since they all speak pretty much they same as on the mainland, but it was fun to look up the written words like "Kane" which is MEN as in men's restroom!

I have used this dictionary for looking up Hawaiian words that are used in English newspapers, websites, and publications found on the Islands. This dictionary is useful for these basic needs.

This book is VERRY nicly written for quick referance, and fits in your pocket. Going to Hawaii? Grap this dictionary. Are you a pure English american hoping to sound parcialy intelegent when a Hawaiian Dairy Queen worker asks, "I luna la i luna, na monu o ka puana?". Or you're a seasoned hawaiian linguist, that forgot how to say "antidisestablishmentterrionism"; you will find this book Quick, Well-thought-out, and not to mention fun.
