This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 
to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 
publisher to a library and finally to you. 

Usage guidelines 

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the 
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to 
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying. 

We also ask that you: 

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for 
personal, non-commercial purposes. 

+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine 
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the 
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help. 

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find 
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it. 

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just 
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other 
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of 
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner 
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

TO THE READER 



HE primary object of this Manual is to 
T I teach natives to converse in English. 
* n It is designed to help carry out the plan 
of the Government to extend English 
schools among the indigenous race of these 
Islands. At the same time, the work is designed 
to assist strangers, speaking English, to acquire 
the correct colloquial speech of the Hawaiians. 
There has long prevailed, between natives and 
foreigners, a corrupted tongue, which the former 
only use in speaking to the latter, but never 
among themselves. It is a method of speech 
which should be abandoned, as it gives a false 
impression, derogatory to all rule, and is without 
system or beauty. To effect this end, colloquial 
words and sentences only have been chosen ; and 
in order to make the one a literal interpretation 
of the other, the idiom has been frequently sac- 
rificed while endeavoring to express the true 
meaning of the corresponding word. 

To strangers wishing to learn the language of 
the country, it will be useful to explain that the. 
vowel sounds of the Hawauatv ^te. ^\Tv\\ox^xv^ -^ixv^ 



never vary, except as long and short sounds. 
A has the sound of a in father. B has the sound 
of a in fate, or of e in vein. / has the sound of 
e in me, or of i in pin. O has the natural sound 
of long in own, and u that of oo in good. In 
a word, the vowels contain the sound they bear 
in most of the continental languages of Europe. 
With this explanation, the learner may proceed 
to the pronunciation of words. 

The articles he (a or an), with ke and ka 
(the), and na, the sign of the plural, are pre- 
fixed to all nouns except such as express a thing 
of things in general, or where a possessive pro- 
noun precedes the noun. 

But tjie learner is referred to the excellent 
Grammars of Judge Andrews and Professor 
Alexander, which he should carefully peruse, 
both before and while consulting this Manual. 
It is for this reason that directions of import- 
ance in the study of the Hawaiian are here 
omitted, as therein contained more fully than 
can be expected in this work.

Mrs. B. pulled my nose

What did you say to her

I only said you have too 

much work 
She did not treat you

She was stingy of her

And she said I ate too 

much 
She also remarked that I 

ate greedily 
And what did you reply? 

I told her to look in an-

Ah ! you were impertinent 
She wished to instruct you 
how to eat properly

Perhaps so, but I only ate 
as other Hawaiians do 

You say aright, it is bad 
to pilfer 

It is wrong if you take a 
pin without asking, by 
and by you will abstract 
large things in the same 
manner 

Do you regret the losing 
of a pin ? 

I do not, but I want the 
right thing to be done 

I see, it is wrong to take 
a pin because it is steal- 
ing 

That is, be afraid to steal 
little things then great 
things will be safer 
with you 

I had a small boy who 
stole matches at first, 
and now he is in prison 
for abstracting all my 
money 

Is it wrong for me to re- 
ceive stolen property 
from another? 

Yes, it is like stealing 

Would it be right for me 

to conceal a theft? 
No, it is helping the thief 

This is the first time I 
have ever heard these 
things

HAWAIIAN PHRASES 



Did your parents never 
teach you these things? 

My parents are ignorant 
and never told me the 
right and wrong 

Do they think it is right 
to conceal? 

Such is their thought, and 
many Hawaiians think 
the same 

When they told you not 
to do a thing, did you 
obey? 

No, native children never 
obey their parents, un- 
less they choose 

Do they not punish you 
then? 

No, they get angry some- 
times, and sometimes 
laugh when we refuse, 
and that ends it. 

That is not the end of it 
at all 

Tell me now, then, what 
is the end? 

This is the end, they be- 
come very bad children 
and citizens 

If the parent punishes at 
any time, what will the 
child do? 

If the child be punished, 
he runs away and for- 
sakes the parent 

Where does the child go 
to?

He goes to some other 

person's house 
Does that person take him 

in? 
Always, and takes h i s 

part 
Ah! that is very wrong 
So you say, but tell me 

where is the wrong? 

It helps bad children to 
conquer their parents 

It is wrong to let children 
have their will in the 
wrong 

What is the reason that 
there are so many bad 
men and bad women in 
this world? 

This is it, they were not 
taught to obey their 
parents when children 

Show me how to teach 
them 

If they will not listen to 
good advice, then pun- 
ish them until they will 
obey 

But all the Hawaiians say 
that it is bad to punish 
little children ; it makes 
them angry, and they 
cry 

But if they are punished 
for doing that which is 
wrong, they will fear

the boys and the girls 
always swim together 



Alas! I am ashamed of 

you 
True, such is the custom

forbid it 
Do any of you regard 

their words ? 
Some do and others do 

not

them? 
Children do not regard 

them at all 
Why do parents allow 

their boys and girls to 

bathe together?

bathe in that manner 

have no shame 
When I become a teacher 

I will lift up my voice 

against this practice

not grow 
If it is not watered it will 

not grow 

If it is not weeded, how

His house is leaning 
And the thatch is off 
He sleeps on the ground 
There is no table or chairs 
A stone is his seat 
His calabash is broken 
And his fish container is 

empty 
When he thinks, it is of 

evil 
When he is hungry he sits

He has two hands that 

will not work 
He does not think <i God,

Go down into the well

Pulverize the soil
