Question: What’s the longest word in the Hawaiian language?
Answer: The longest Hawaiian word is humuhumunukunukuāpua‘a, which is also the name of the state fish! It translates to “triggerfish with a snout like a pig,” referring to its distinctive appearance and sound. Despite its tongue-twisting name, it’s a point of local pride and fun for visitors to try saying it. See the photo of the fish here.
