oh btw for ppl playing sun and moon. I’m sure someone has mentioned it already but when there is a letter “w” in a Hawaiian word the correct way to pronounce it is with a “V” sound. I’ve heard ppl say the words with a straight up “w"sound and thats really no fault of theirs since they dont know how to pronounce Hawaiian words. I’m not forcing ppl to say it correctly but this is for reference

for example! When you meet trial captain Kiawe the correct way to pronounce his name is (Kee-ah-veh). With a “v” sound not a “w” sound.

oh someone pointed this out but yes! there are exceptions. if the first letter of a hawaiian word is a “w” then you just use a normal “w” sound
