| In Hawaii, there are two uniquely local words that describe a direction:
- Mauka (mow-kah) means on the mountain side in the context of directions. - Makai (mah-kigh) means on the ocean side in the context of directions.
These words are used very frequently and without a further description in Hawaii. So, now you’ll know when you go what these words mean and you’ll be navigating like a local.
