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!)
‘A‘ole/No. It is when you look the person in the face and address them directly.
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".
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.)
Is it true that aloha means hello and goodbye? If so, in what context would that be the case?
61 years old. Too old to successfully wrap my American mouth around another language, but what the heck. Hawaiian might be a touch easier than, say, Italian or Spanish. Good grief, those people talk at a hundred miles an hour!
I just started learning Italian this year and now I'm starting Hawaiian and trying to maintain Italian, esperanto, and Spanish. Italian is definitely harder than Spanish, but not too bad. Too many interesting languages!
There is never an apostrophe in greetings, unless you are somehow making it possessive (i.e. something belonging to the greeting itself)
