Читать книгу Hawaiian Historical Legends - William D. Westervelt - Страница 11

In reading Hawaiian words do not end a syllable with a consonant, and pronounce all vowels as if they were Italian or French.

a = a in father.

e = e in they.

i = i in pin.

o = o in hold.

u = oo in spoon.

This is a fairly good rule for the pronunciation of all Polynesian words.
