Open post Moani @moani@ohai.social · 4mo ago Hapa == portion or part #hawaiianWordOfTheDay #half #portion #part #HPR #HawaiianPublicRadio #hawaiian hawaiipublicradio.org July 6th: Hapa Hapa is most often used in English conversation to describe something that is mixed or part something. And although it comes from the English word “half,” it means portion or part. We hear hapa used in hapa Hawaiʻi for part Hawaiian, or hapa haole for part foreign.
