Knowledge is power. Power in Hawaiian is Mana. This dictionary is easy to use. Whether you live in Hawaii, visit for the first time, return frequently, have Hawaiian friends, or just want to indulge your curiosity about the language and pronunciation this is a great book to have. I know the internet is an easy way to look up a quick word or place name, but sitting down with this book and browsing through it from time to time, or taking the time to actually study from it is very worthwhile and will increase your knowledge. And never forget knowledge is Mana!

Great size, handy to take anywhere. Fabulous for the student of the beautiful Hawai'ian language and perfect for someone like me who has forgotten more than I can afford to lose of my lilting island language. Reminders help what is since not used and draws back beautiful memories. This is another language almost lost but being brought back by our kupuna (elders) and should not be held back from its renaissance. Mahalo to all.
Saw this book at a condo we booked for our vacation and had to have my own copy. Very helpful for understanding Hawaiian culture as well as language.
