"Makemake ʻo Kēhau i ka mea uliuli."

Translation: Kēhau likes the blue one.

Dark green? Uliuli could be any dark color, correct? Especially blue.

[hawaiki]

uliuli is blue or dark blue not green

[Mak511906]

I've seen it used (here) to mean dark green - in the same way I've seen, in English, "peacock" and "teal" followed by either blue or green. I still never know which they mean; kinda leaves you guessing! Greater precision would clarify better, imho.

[kelii....]

uliuli could be a variety of dark colors, including blue, green, and gray.

[KarinLynn1]

Wow, seems blue and green are such important colors in Hawaii there would be MANY words for them. There must be more to this story! :)

Manomano NEW Hawaiian dictionary look up Hawiian words:

link: manomano.io

link for (uliuli): https://manomano.io/definition/35756

[Mak511906]

Mahalo nui no kēia link! First really helpful information I've seen. Is there a way you can get this info to the programmers? It's very helpful in clarifying this ongoing issue!

[Mak511906]

AND - for what it's worth, the program did accept "the dark one" without and specific color mentioned. Gotta ask my kumu!

[angie13403]

It did not accept dark one for me

[KarinLynn1]

Cool app!! If I could give you a lingot I would!

[Star691312]

Same, this one tripped me up

[IPPSl411]

My answer: Kehau wants the blue one.

[Akamai14]

The hawaiian dictionary shows uliuli as both green and blue and this program uses it as dark green and dark blue previously.

[DeborahMar212794]

Not sure I like being wrong for something that can be blue or green.

[Ileina94]

A better word rather than "uliuli" should be "Uli"

Also "uliuli" is inaccurate because it can only describe Dark blue if it pertains to ONLY clothing
