Although Hawaiian words may look challenging to pronounced they're typically easy to say if you sound out the word by each syllable. The Hawaiian language utilizes the 5 vowels a,e,i,o,u and the 7 consonants h,k,l,m,n,p,w. Please note that sometimes the "W" is pronounced the same as "V" as in Hawai'i.
Sample word: Kepenekela
Sounded out: Ke-pe-ne-ke-la
Stressed vowels
a - ah, as in car: aloha
e - a, as in may: nene
i - ee, as in bee: honi
o - oh, as in so: mahalo
u - oo, as in spoon: kapu
Unstressed vowels
a - a, as in about: ali`i
e - eh, as in met: kane
