Did you know?
- The Hawaiian alphabet, known as pīʻāpā, contains only 12 letters, meaning names like Oliwia must be spelled using a very small set of characters.
- Hawaiian has no 'v' sound, so 'Olivia' is adapted as Oliwia to fit the limited consonant inventory of the language.
- Hawaiian grammar often uses a 'marker' before names in sentences, so you would rarely say Oliwia alone when speaking about her in a formal context.
