Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

It's "Mele Kalikimaka" pronounced "MEL-lay KAH-lee-KEY-mah-kah" for "Merry Christmas" in Hawaiian.

-quote-

"Do you know how to wish someone a merry Christmas in the Hawaii? You say, “Mele Kalikimaka.” According to Hawaii Magazine, the phase is not actually a proper Hawaiian phrase.

The Hawaiians had difficulty pronouncing Merry Christmas, and so came up with a phonetic translation that rolled more easily off their tongues: MEL-lay KAH-lee-KEY-mah-kah."
