Father
ʻO ka ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, ua kapa ʻia ka ʻŌlelo Makuahine, no ka mea, hiki i nā mākua kāne ke walaʻau me ka liʻiliʻi wale nō.
The Hawaiian language is also called the “Mother tongue” because fathers never get a chance to use much of it.
Plural: Mākua kāne. Another word for father: Pāpā (colloquial)
