Aloha means
hello and it means
goodbye but more than that it is a
philosophy.
In Hawai`i, the “
Spirit of Aloha” is a widely used term which encompasses many different aspects of the self. It can mean inner peace, it can describe your
attitude, and it can mean
sharing or can mean
happiness. It is most certainly one of those words that “You just can’t translate to English”, as it has nothing even remotely its equivalent in the English Language. To really get the feel of it one should hear it used in its
many different contexts.
