"Aloha e Kaleo."
Translation:Hello Kaleo.

E has several different meanings or uses, depending on context. In the case of Aloha e Kaleo, "e" acts as an object marker. Youʻre saying Aloha (to) Kaleo. When starting a sentence, it often indicates the start of a command, like: E Kaleo, e pani i ke kula (Hey Kaleo, close the door!)
Can kula be used to mean door? I’ve heard mainly puka, while kula meaning school or plain/open field. Wehewehe.org doesn’t have this meaning of kula.
I have never heard of kula to mean any type of door, doorway, or portal. Where did you hear that kula could mean door, please?
I haven't either, and wehewehe doesn't have it. I was responding to https://www.duolingo.com/profile/AlanAbonyi comment above where he translated "e pani i ke kula" as "close the door." I assume it was a typo/brainf@rt for "puka".
ABOUT THE LACK OF AUDIO EXAMPLES: No, its neither a lag on your phone, nor the app Its just that the Hawaiian language is in fact indangered, thus not many people are fluent speakers. That is why the Duolingo app has few sound examples; because they havent veen developed due to the lack if "staff".
Is it true that aloha means hello and goodbye? If so, in what context would that be the case?
Does "aloha" only mean "hello" or can it also mean "hi"?? I had typed as "Hi Kaleo" and it told that as wrong
(Our Baby Namer link) http://www.ourbabynamer.com/meaning-of-Kaleo.html What does Kaleo mean?
The name Kaleo is of Hawaiian origin.
The meaning of Kaleo is "the sound, voice".
Kaleo is generally used as a boy's name.
I figured out it was a name >.< but what is the name translated to in English ?

"It's of Hawaiian origin." That means it's not an English name translated into Hawaiian sounds.
(In other words, the English version is Kaleo, too.)
I think maybe you're getting bogged down on the wrong thing. It might be true that the app accepted "greetings" but not "hello" or vice versa. That should be fixed, so click the REPORT button.
The bigger question though is what does a Hawaiian word "mean". Hawaiian is not just a secret coded way to speak English. Words don't have a 1-to-1 correspondence between any two languages. This is masked from us because, in languages like Spanish or Italian, most of the time you can pretty much find such a 1-to-1 correspondence.
But Hawaiian is different. In fact, "Aloha e Kaleo" strictly means neither "hello" nor "greetings." ... "aloha" is a stative verb that expresses "love". So the sentence means literally something like "I am expressing the state of sending love to Kaleo." We wouldn't translate this literally, of course; so "hello, Kaleo" or "greetings, Kaleo" are both reasonable translations of the overall meaning of the sentence.

No, "e" is a little word that indicates you're talking directly to somebody. In many languages, this is called the "vocative". It's like if we were speaking 16th century English, I might say to you "O Poppy, please come here."
