This is a must have if you are interested in the Hawaiian language.

This is an excellent book to use as a tool for any level, from a beginner who is just started to learn to a native speaker as a quick reference guide. Since both languages are used to find words and definitions it is a very user friendly book and easily navigated. It is a must have!

Great!!!!!!

Great Hawaiian Dictionary! Have one already but wanted another since some of my dancers borrow the other. The book was in great condition since I did get my other brand new and it looked great up against the one I have.

Hawaiian Dictionary

The best content but typefont is so small that many will need a magnifying glass to enjoy it.

Hawaiian Dictionary

This is a comprehensive, easy to use dictionary that not only gives direct and indirect translations, but background and contexts for use.

Insight into Hawaiian culture through language

This is much more than a dictionary. It includes the history of the Hawaiian words, their changing meanings through time, or from island to island or when combined with other words.
Almost all books by Mary Pukui are excellent combinations of anthropological science and historical heretage and stories.

For many years Hawaiian Dictionary has been the definitive and authoritative work on the Hawaiian language. Now this indispensable reference volume has been enlarged and completely revised. More than 3,000 new entries have been added to the Hawaiian-English section bringing the total number of entries to almost 30,000, and making it the largest and most complete of any Polynesian dictionary. Other additions and changes in this section include: a method of showing stress groups to facilitate pronunciation of Hawaiian words with more than three syllables; indication of parts of speech; current scientific names of plants; use of metric measurements; additional reconstructions; classical origins of loan words; and many added cross-references to enhance understanding of the numerous nuances of Hawaiian words.

The English-Hawaiian section, a complement and supplement to the Hawaiian-English section, contains more than 12,500 entries and can serve as an index to hidden riches in the Hawaiian language. This new edition is more than a dictionary. Containing folklore, poetry, and ethnology, it will benefit Hawaiian studies for years to come.
