- [Mele Kalikimaka ~ Merry Christmas](https://iheartprinceville.com/kauai-hawaii/mele-kalikimaka/): “Mele Kalikimaka“ – pronounced [ˈmɛlɛ kəˌlikiˈmɐkə]) is a Hawaiian-themed Christmas song written in 1949 by R. Alex Anderson. The song takes its title from the Hawaiian phrase Mele Kalikimaka, meaning “Merry Christmas” The expression Mele Kalikimaka is a loan phrase from English. But since the Hawaiian language has a different phonological system from English, it is not possible to render a pronunciation that is especially close to Merry Christmas. Standard Hawaiian does not have the /r/ or /s/ sounds of English and its phonotactic constraints do not permit consonants at the end of syllables or consonant clusters.  Thus the closest approximation to Merry Christmas is Mele Kalikimaka. The earliest record of the greeting in print is from 1904, in the Hawaiian language newspaper Ka Nupepa Kuokoa, published […]

- [Mele Kalikimaka ~ Merry Christmas](https://iheartprinceville.com/kauai-hawaii/mele-kalikimaka/): “Mele Kalikimaka“ – pronounced [ˈmɛlɛ kəˌlikiˈmɐkə]) is a Hawaiian-themed Christmas song written in 1949 by R. Alex Anderson. The song takes its title from the Hawaiian phrase Mele Kalikimaka, meaning “Merry Christmas” The expression Mele Kalikimaka is a loan phrase from English. But since the Hawaiian language has a different phonological system from English, it is not possible to render a pronunciation that is especially close to Merry Christmas. Standard Hawaiian does not have the /r/ or /s/ sounds of English and its phonotactic constraints do not permit consonants at the end of syllables or consonant clusters.  Thus the closest approximation to Merry Christmas is Mele Kalikimaka. The earliest record of the greeting in print is from 1904, in the Hawaiian language newspaper Ka Nupepa Kuokoa, published […]
