One thing Hawaii symbolizes is a relaxation. And oftentimes, relaxation leads to fun, creative displays like this “Aloha” made from twigs and presented on a textured board.
Breaking down the word, “alo” means ‘presence’ and “ha” stands for the ‘breathe of life.’ So, a literal translation is ‘the presence of breath.’ This understanding adds significance to the meanings below.
The Hawaiian word “aloha” means many things (see it defined here), but most notably:
- Love
- Grace
- Hello
- Goodbye
