ʻŌlelo Noʻeau are Hawaiian proverbs that often offer wisdom for a person to live by. The theme for this year is Aloha - the Hawaiian term for Love. These monthly posts will show you aloha in action, in the Hawaiian context.
This one's a bit easier, and you might recognize some words from the [last ʻŌlelo Noʻeau]!
- ʻAʻohe = There is no, not any; composed of ʻAʻole and He, the negative of Aia
- Loa = Distance [n]; Very, Most, Long [adj / adv]
- Hana = Work, deed, action
- a = of (K-Less Possessive, A-Class - denotes a thing made or done, instead of inherently existing)
- Aloha = Love
All together:
There is no distance in the work of love.
There isn't any distance to love's doings.
