You may get away with your Hawaii pronunciation if you’re not local, but if you were you would definitely be expected to say it right

people either get mad your not pronouncing it right or think your pretentious there is no winning. When I talk about visiting family in France some words have no accent and others do, it depends

Dude, I have only heard it the way you pronounce it. I was triggered by Mike Terico’s pronunciation.

If someone was to pronounce your name wrong all the time would it trigger you? It’s so white of you to think this way.

The differance of course is that unlike French, Olelo Hawai’i was actively suppressed. Not saying you have to pronounce anything properly, but your comparison to defend your self is a little ignorant

When you know better, why not work to do better? Like you know that’s not how it’s actually pronounced so why not work to say it correctly

Girl. You’re justifying your behavior by one person being okay with it. Also, if you want people to ✨just relax✨ maybe you should ✨relax✨ with the poor attitude. It’s constructive criticism.

I think you’ll surprise yourself with how okay you’d be with the pronunciation if you tried! Vowel sounds are v similar to Italian and Spanish, and @Turanga Morgan-Edmonds has a great tutorial on it💛

Pronounciation & explanations are DA BEST!!! Hawai’i local here &!U soooo right! Even Japan Olympics, folks say “toe-KEY-yo” but Japanese don’t pronounce it like that

I think it has more to do with indigenous ties and respect to the original custodians. I understand it’s not easy to pronounce but people do appreciate it 💖

It’s a false comparison to suggest using an exonym is the same as attempting to pronounce a place correctly or a nickname

Easy for you to say gf, when for the most part your language is correctly pronounced by all who attempt it! Also, your example with “France” has to do with accent not correct pronounciation.

only time i think you should really worry abt pronunciation is someones name. its like nev-a-da vs nev-ah-da, who really cares?

Chloe Veron :
For some context, we call it Tchop because we are lazy… Tchops > Tchopo. Same as « How are you » = « E aha to 'oe huru » > Ha tchuru. Real pronounciation is Teahupo’o and Hawa’i as the locals say it.
