Learn Hawaiian Grammar Books

Without question, this is the definitive grammar of the Hawaiian language. Indeed it is the first attempt at a comprehensive treatment of the subject since W.D. Alexander published his concise (fifty-nine page) Short Synopsis of the Most Essential Points in Hawaiian Grammar in 1864. This grammar is intended as a companion piece to the Hawaiian Dictionary, by the same authors.
The grammar was written with every student of the Hawaiian language in mind--from the casual interested layperson to the professional linguist and grammarian. Although it was obviously impossible to avoid technical terms, their use was kept to a minimum, and a glossary is included for those who need its help. Each point of grammar is illustrated with examples, many from Hawaiian language literature. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
