E kala mai, but I just wanted to tell you something that has happened when I've been in Hawai'i Nei. I've discovered that everybody who works in any store, hotel, restaurant, etc. says aloha to people who come in, no matter what ethnicity he/she is. Unknowingly, I've started blabbing in 'olelo, and most of those people don't answer. This disappoints me all the time. Think about it. What if a Hawaiian person working in a restaurant in Mexico said hola to a Spanish-speaking person, and then the Spanish person says something like, "COMO ESTAS HOY?" and the Hawaiian doesn't respond. Follow?
What do you think about this? Do you think the word aloha should only be said by native Hawaiians, or should everybody in Hawai'i Nei show their love for each other in 'olelo?
