Kāpae == “To set aside, turn aside, deviate from, eliminate, discard, remove, lay aside, delete, omit, spare, stow away, cancel, be perverted from; to disqualify, suspend.” (From Wehewehe) #hwotd #hawaiianWordOfTheDay # #HPR #HawaiianPublicRadio #LeilaniPoliʻahu https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/hawaiian-word-of-the-day-march-21st
Normally I would use “kīloi” for throwing something away, and “kāpae” for “skip” or “cancel” (as in “Ua kāpae ʻia ke kaʻaahi” for “the train is cancelled”) but today I learned: “throw away” is also a meaning of “kāpae.” (Screenshot from #uTalk )
