Akamai, for smart, is one of the first Hawaiian words many people learn. It also means "clever, expert, skillful." If you see someone doing something very clever, it's okay to say "Akamai ʻoe" or you're very smart. #HawaiianWordOfTheDay #akamai #smart https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/hawaiian-word-of-the-day-june-17th | Hawaiʻi Public Radio
