THIS IS A FUN BOOK! I've been teaching myself Hawaiian for 3 years (you'll find my  reviews for the books I used) and have at times been frustrated with the very limited scope of each resource.This book has ERADICATED my frustration! It's truly an answer to my prayers.DOWNSIDE: None.UPSIDE: Here's a list:1. The Hawaiian-English section uses a Hawaiian-cultural standpoint as basis.2. The English-Hawaiian section uses a Western-cultural standpoint as basis.3. There are over 5,000 entries in Hawaiian and English.4. Most of the words are used in actual, modern sentences.5. There are literally thousands of such useful sentences.6. Words with multiple meanings are explained.7. Every type of sentence structure is here.8. There are wonderful line drawings.9. A lot of the sentences are colorful: "While she was driving, her tears fell."10. A lot of the sentences are topical: "The Hawaiian race has known the pain of injustice".11. There are 448 pages.12. It's pocket-sized.13. It makes Hawaiian an accessible, flexible and LIVING language.14. All this for only $9.95.If you're learning Hawaiian and have gotten through the elementals, this book will take you upward and onward, and you'll have a lot of fun in the process! I've been reading mine daily, and I never fail to find something useful, interesting and fun. I wish I could give this book 20 stars.
This dictionary with simple, clear illustrations is an essential componenet to any understanding of Hawaiian words and language. Especially geared for beginners and children, this dictionary covers alot of ground. While not being too technical or cumbersome, it is an enjoyable book to use.
I first purchased this Hawaiian-English dictionary but soon realized I needed the more complete dictionary (by Pukui/Elbert which is twice the price but worth it).If you are just "dabbling" in the Hawaiian language, this concise dictionary might be enough for you. There are 2,500 entries (vs 26,000 in the Pukui/Elbert edition). And "illustrated" just means there's a few line-drawn black/white 1 x 1 inch pics scattered throughout the book.Again, this is probably a good basic dictionary, 448 pages, 4 x 7 inch in size, for someone just wanting to check out basic words. To really get into the language, however, I encourage you to spend more to definitely get more! (Be sure to order the most up-to-date dictionary, as words are being added with every newer edition.)
I have three Hawaiian dictionaries, and this by far is the best. I have never failed to find a word I was looking for, and the large print makes it just simply wonderful. This was the best investment in Hawaiian language and culture I have come across. I highly recommend it, you will be so happy.
This is a neat little bilingual dictionary by a Hawaiian language instructor at the Hilo campus of the University of Hawai'i, with illustrations by a graphic designer and illustrator for Kamehameha Schools. The spelling of Hawaiian words follows current conventions. The illustrations are helpful, with many showing Hawaiian cultural artifacts, plants, animals and geological features that people outside of Hawai'i may not be familiar with. Where Hawaiian words have multiple meanings, those meanings are shown and usage examples are provided. Loanwords in Hawaiian also are included. This is a wonderful dictionary that nicely complements the older, monumental work by Mary Kawena Pukui and Samuel Elbert.
A great little dictionary, with LOTS of examples of Hawaiian language usage! My only complaint, however, is that some of the example sentences contain a Hawaiian word that itself cannot be found in this small dictionary, meaning that to get a definition of such a word, you have to go to a more substantial dictionary like Pukui/Elbert. Frustrating. I would still recommend this dictionary as very practical nonetheless.
