Ahi actually means fire. 'Ahi is the correct spelling for the tuna fish, with the 'okina before the "a". The diacritical marks in the Hawaiian language make quite a difference. Just for future references.

So is it a way of preparing tuna? Like.. Ahi tuna = fire-grilled tuna?

No, 'ahi = tuna. 'Ahi tuna is just redundant.

I think judging by other comments that: Ahi 'Ahi would be something like fire-grilled tuna/fire tuna.

Close... it'd be 'ahi ahi (adjectives after the nouns they modify). And yes, you can absolutely hear the 'okina when a native Hawaiian speaks Hawaiian, just like you can hear the kahakō (elongated vowel).

Actually not, ahi isn't commonly used as an adjective in the Hawaiian language, to say cooked 'ahi tuna it would probably be 'ahi pūlehu

Level 65
Oct 23, 2013
No. That is not how it's spelled. The common spelling of harbor may include a U in your region, but since this is a proper name, it is spelled only one way and that is without the U.

I'm from the USA - since so many people have so loudly pointed out that America is not the country but the continent, I'm not really sure what part of America you are referencing, but I never spell either Edinburgh or Pittsburgh without the final "H". It usually costs me a couple of extra seconds on my next answer, but it is a habit that I just can't seem to break - even on Jetpunk. So does that mean that you are able to use the final "H" without it appearing as the first letter in your next answer? If you can, I'd like to find out how because I do try not to be "just stupid".

I visited Hawaii last year and actually saw two nenes crossing a road in Hawai'i Volcanoes NP. There's only about 900 or so one Hawaii island today so that was pretty cool. Apparently there were fewer than 25 on Hawaii island in the 1930's.

I tried to write "kalo" as the answer for the plant poi comes from, but it didn't accept it. Isn't that how it's spelled in Hawaiian? Or is it just not offered as a possible answer?

When people visit Hawaii, they often feel like it is heaven on Earth. I have felt that way myself.

Naïve people extend these emotions to think that pre-European Hawaiian civilization was literally paradise. These people have never tasted poi.

Hawaii is surprisingly fascinating. Two of their islands' inhabitants don't know that the cell phone exists since they're off-limits to those who don't have a governmental permit.

Interesting quiz, but definitely much harder than the other state quizzes (although that makes sense, since Hawaii has a cultural history very different from the continental U.S.). That being said, I was surprised to not see questions referencing the fact that Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. that produces coffee commercially, as well as any questions about the Kingdom of Hawaii or its previous name, the Sandwich Islands.

Too many of the same types of questions. I don't know Hawaiin nor do I know the island nicknames. Any one of them is a very valid question, but as blocks of questions, one's score takes a huge hit.
