Hawaiian Word of the Week


Choke:

definition-a lot, many.


This one is used a lot by the people i work with. Here are some examples of how you can use it...


ex 1. Ho dat restaurant, no eat ovah deah. How cum? CHOKE kakaroaches.

**translation: I really don't think it is a good idea to eat in that restaurant. Why? It's not very sanitary.


ex 2. No even go ovah da Pali, get CHOKE CARS.

**translation: You might not want to take the Pali route. The traffic is just terrible!



Now for your homework this weekend...try to use choke correctly in conversation twice a day, and then for extra credit you can share your new-found knowledge with a friend! Good luck and have a nice weekend!
