3 ms·Hawaii equivalent is "da kine"by sosborn 4y agoHawaii equivalent is "da kine"tomcam 4y agoI was told by a Hawaiian native 40 years that "da kine" meant something is awesome but it appears not to be the case.sosborn 4y agoThe thing is that it can mean that. It can also mean something sucks. It can also mean that thing over there, or that thing I did last week.tomcam 4y agoOh!
