Hawaiian Word of the Day

Hawaiian Word of the Day: October 9th

Wai wai means goods, property, assets, valuables, value, worth, wealth. We most often hear wai wai to mean rich, wealth, or value, as in the popular song “Ies? me ke kanaka wai wai,” – Jesus and the Rich Man – written by Johnny Almeida.
