It's the two last words I don't know. It means something like "They two
go to the..." and whatever those two words mean. Can anyone help?>
The little I know of Hawaiian is thru historical linguistics. There are
lots of homonyms, but-- kai is very likely ''sea, ocean"; at least one
meaning of au is "current", but redupl., quién sabe? Could it mean,
"They're going surfing"?????
