What is the Hawaiian word for blessed?
While, as in English, there are many ways to say “I love you,” the most common way in Hawaiian to express this wonderful sentiment is, “Aloha au iā ‘oe.”.
Hawaiian doesn’t really have “welcome” so to speak. Simply Aloha should get the job done lol. You may also use E komo mai which is come in or “welcome”. E komo mai nou ka hale is come in, the house is yours or make yourself at home.
