I was told by a Hawaiian native 40 years that "da kine" meant something is awesome but it appears not to be the case.

  The 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.

    Oh! So I’m guessing tone of voice could have a strong influence on the meaning then?

        neat, thanks for clarifying. I feel vindicated and also ripped off ;) Was using it right, but only in a single context.
