Just curious, is the use of "papahele" to refer to floors of a building due to English influence or did it evolve independently?

As in walk up the stairs instead of taking the elevator? I would have reported it and checked the box saying "my answer should be accepted".

I like the speaker's accent on " 'ekolu". But I also heard an extra 'okina in the first part of the sentence that shouldn't be vocalized. I hear this: E pi'i 'i luna ...... instead of this: E pi'i i luna...
