This book has around 11,000 words with adequate definitions.

I like the fact that the people that compiled this dictionary included names and even a guide to assist in pronounciation.

This nook is not an exhaustive researh on the Hawaiian language; but will greatly assist in research; Two Bears.

Aloha nui loa (I love you very much).

this little book is a hidden treasure!I know,for I spent most of my life growing up in the islands.
hawaii is a place unique in the sense that the spirit and the beauty can actually be captured by the words in the language...I highly recomend these priceless pages of fun and enjoyment.if for no other reason than to learn a new word to describe something...the languageis sweet,the words simple,and "the new pocket hawiian dictionary"no ka oi! mahalo to the authors!!!!

This book is VERRY nicly written for quick referance, and fits in your pocket. Going to Hawaii? Grap this dictionary. Are you a pure English american hoping to sound parcialy intelegent when a Hawaiian Dairy Queen worker asks, "I luna la i luna, na monu o ka puana?". Or you're a seasoned hawaiian linguist, that forgot how to say "antidisestablishmentterrionism"; you will find this book Quick, Well-thought-out, and not to mention fun.

Well, you know Kapahulu Street runs away from Waikiki beach, by the park and the zoo. And if you get your Hawaiian dictionary you'll find Kapa could mean a crotch, generally female. And hulu could mean lined with feathers, or hair. So does that mean you're walking down the street named after Female Pubic Hair?

Actually, it's not Kapa-hulu, it turns out it's Ka (the) Pahulu (barren ground). Totally different. If you're visiting Hawai'i, and you want to have some idea of the history of where you are, this little pocket book makes for some interesting reading.
