In reading Hawaiian words do not end a syllable with a consonant, and pronounce all vowels as if they were Italian or French.
|
a |
= |
a in father. |
|
e |
= |
e in they. |
|
i |
= |
i in pin. |
|
o |
= |
o in hold. |
|
u |
= |
oo in spoon. |
This is a fairly good rule for the pronunciation of all Polynesian words.
