Strong In Hawaiian Language
“Noho” actually means to sit such as “e noho ana au i laila” meaning I’ll sit over there, I’ll stay over there. “Mahi” means to cultivate or plant such as “e mahi kākou i ke kalo” meaning let’s plant the taro. It can also imply to be rooted strongly so it’s difficult to pull such as “he mahi ke kalo i ne’i” meaning the taro here is stuck.
Actual terms are:
Kū pa’a
Stand stuck, stay strong
Onipa’a
Yes, it is a term for the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, but it’s because it means “be steadfast”, “stay strong”, “be unwavering” and “do not compromise”
E ikaika kākou
Be strong everyone
He kū au ia
“I stand here”
This would be more as a challenge to others saying, “To get this you need to get through me.”
