How to Say Happy New Year in Hawaiian
If you are going to be in Hawaii over the New Year holiday, you may want to learn this phrase:
Hau’oli Makahiki Hou
It means Happy New Year and it is pronounced “how-oh-lay ma-ka-hee-key ho”.
(If you’re going to be on Oahu to welcome in 2008, you’ll find ideas of what to do in Hawaii for New Years Eve here, )
As 2008 nears, I’d like to be among the first to wish you Hau ‘oli Makahiki Hou!

I certainly hope it’s happy!
Right back at ya! Hope you guys have a nice time and enjoy seeing in the New Year!
Thank you, Evelyn! Will you be getting to see any of those fantastic fireworks in your wonderful city? Happy 2008!
You know what? I don’t know! Maybe I’ll go running at 11:30 and head down to Aloha Tower! At least I won’t have to worry about parking!
That sounds like a great plan, Evelyn. (I’ll pretend I’m not jealous now.)
Happy New Year, Sheila. Hope that 2008 is a great one for you and Andy.
Hau’oli Makahiki Hou! Have a good one.
