It can also express love and regards, as well as meaning the &#8216;aloha spirit&#8217; by which Hawaiian islanders live.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-dancing-illegal-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Is dancing illegal in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Simply put, it&#8217;s illegal. But it&#8217;s really not that simple. This is because \u201cdancing\u201d is not clearly defined. But if you&#8217;re doing it and you&#8217;re not on a designated dancefloor, you&#8217;re breaking the law.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-does-brah-mean-in-hawaii\"><\/span>What does brah mean in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cbrother<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-you-respond-to-aloha\"><\/span>How do you respond to aloha?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If someone says \u201cAloha\u201d to you, say it right back.

The code was assigned to Hawaii on August 8, 1957, about two years before statehood on August 21, 1959. Slightly over 1.4 million people live in Hawaii.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-inappropriate-to-say-aloha\"><\/span>Is it inappropriate to say aloha?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cAloha\u201d was meant to be a love letter to Hawaii, according to its filmmaker Cameron Crowe. Instead, it has proved offensive to Native Hawaiians.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-say-mahalo-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Can I say Mahalo in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Show your gratitude with the Hawaiin phrase mahalo.

But that is not to be taken literally. The real meaning of Aloha in Hawaiian is that of Love, Peace, and Compassion.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-meaning-of-ohana\"><\/span>What is the meaning of ohana?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>word for family<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What should I do before moving to Hawaii?
