A couple of Hawaiian words come to mind ...
1st, naturally, is Aloha. Such lovely meanings and - said correctly- it flows from the tongue.
2nd, wicki-wicki - (fast or quick) The wicki-wicki bus makes fast trips between airlines at the airport and to the parking areas. Mother calls "wicki-wicki" to children to hurry them up!
3rd Pau (done, finished. i.e. "Pau hana" ... done work
or just "Pau" as when waitress asks "Are you pau?" meaning have you finished eating.
4th - Mahalo - thank you
5th - Kokua (ko-coo-ahh) co-operation but cooperation with a kind heart!
Not necessarily in that order except Aloha always first!
That's it! I'm pau.
