It's not "paizana", but "paesana"... and it means countrywoman, a girl who comes from your own country; the word means also a person who live in a little town (in italian paese)...\n"paesano" is the masculine...\nThe second sentence is "sì! Sono stanca di tutta questa merda" and it means "Yes! I got bored (letterary it's tired) because of all this s**t"...

The hula maiden, with swaying hips and “lovely hula hands,” is one of the legendary symbolsof Hawaii, but this art form, passed down through generations, is far more than an entertaining dance.\n\nThe hula of Old Hawaii, known as kahiko (ancient), was a ritual of religion and communication. Its dancers were dedicated to perfect performance. Kahiko is exciting to watch, its performers strong and precise as they move to the beat of the drum and the chanter’s call. Dancers wear costumes based on ancient garb—simple cotton tops, skirts or loincloths printed to simulate kapa (tree-bark cloth), ti-leaf skirts and ferns or vines woven into lei for the neck and head, wrists and ankles.\n\nIn ancient times, dancers were selected in childhood, or even before birth, for hula training. They spent their formative years separated from the outside world, under the care of a kumu hula, or hula master, and their lives were dedicated to the goddess Laka, patron of the hula. Chants and dance preserved the history of births, deaths, loves and battles. Hula was danced for religious purposes, as well as entertainment, in the hope of successful crops or battles, at funerals or to celebrate human fertility.\n\n\nphoto Kim Taylor Reece \nThe first visitors to Hawaii didn’t understand that the dance had a vital place in the spiritual lives of their hosts. Early sailors and traders saw what they wanted to see: seminude women with undulating hips. When the missionaries arrived, they were shocked by the dance, which they considered lascivious. They had come to convert, and, though they were willing to accept the Hawaiian language in order to preach, the hula would have to go. For many years in the 19th century, missionary disapproval drove the hula underground. Hula survived partly because some royalty continued to support it, and partly because dedicated families and individuals in remote places quietly continued to pass along their knowledge to succeeding generations.\n\nKing David Kalakaua, nicknamed the “Merrie Monarch” for his love of song and dance, sparked a cultural renaissance in the 1880s. The hula schools came out of hiding, and dancers performed at his coronation and again at his 50th birthday party.\n\nKalakaua’s fascination with things foreign also helped bring about the modern style of hula, called auwana (to wander, drift, go astray). Dancers in his time began to include the steps of popular, contemporary dances, and they moved to the gliding rhythms of the guitar and ukulele, rather than the dramatic beat of the pahu (drum) and ipu (gourd). Costumes worn by today’s dancers often reflect the elegant European styles of Hawaii’s royal court. Auwana is the form of hula most familiar to the outside world.\n\n\nphoto Kim Taylor Reece \nAfter Kalakaua died, and his sister Liliuokalani lost her throne, hula began a long decline into the 20th century. When Hawaiian music became a fad in the early 1900s, people who had never been to Hawaii wrote songs and danced on Mainland stages. The sacred dance was tarnished by a hootchie-koochie image.\n\nIronically, while Hollywood was enamored with Hawaii, the culture was suppressed in the Islands, where families often forbade their children to speak Hawaiian or dance the hula. Still, the image of the lovely hula dancer spread around the world. Military people stationed in the Islands during World War II went home with memories of lilting Hawaiian tunes and a smattering of hula learned from friendly Islanders. In backyards and living rooms, the culture survived as elders continued to teach their arts to the young.\n\nWhen the revival of Hawaiian pride began in the 1960s, the dancers were ready. Once more the chant was heard and the flashing movements of kahiko hula were seen in public. Now the hula is in full flower. Young and old again have dedicated themselves to the hula and the culture that surrounds it. They grow or gather lei materials, make their own costumes and ornaments, and lea

There are many found in Hawaiian music. Three of my favorites:\n\nBeauty of Mauna Kea - Keola Beamer\nFires of Pele - Ernie Cruz Jr.\nKalapana Sands*- Ernie Cruz Jr.\n\n*Kalapana was a town with black sand beach near Kilauea that was swallowed up by lava flows in 1990. The song is actually about the place before the lava flows, but it has taken on a special poignancy since then. \n\nKîlauea - Alice Nâmakelua\nFirelady- "Sistah" Robi Kahakalau\nKaimana Hila* - Charles E. King \nMauna Loa - Helen Lindsey Parker\n \n* This is a transliteration of "Diamond Head", the famous tuff ring at the end of  Waikiki. The original Hawaiian name of the extinct volcano was Leahi or "forehead of the yellowfin tuna".

Minä ( i ) rakastan ( love ) sinua ( you ), or just: rakastan sinua. However, this is not the same easy " i love you " that could also mean " i like you ". If you say minä rakastan sinua to a finnish person you fancy, that´s very dramatic, like almost equal to " i want to marry you ", hehe. Of course it´s ok to say it to family and very close friends. If you fancy someone but are not ready to walk down the isle, maybe go for " pidän sinusta " I like you, or pidän sinusta paljon ( much ).\n;)

Puka shells are pieces of a Cone Snail shell. Puka is the Hawaiian word for "hole" and refers to the naturally occurring hole in the middle of the shell fragment.\n\nAs the name implies, the shell of the Cone Snail is cone-shaped, being closed at the larger end. While the abandoned shell is tossed in the surf and coral rubble, the pointed end is ground into sand. The "puka" is formed when the minor apex of the large end is eroded by the same forces that wears off the point.\n\nNecklaces, bracelets and anklets are a perfect use of the "shells" because they already have a hole for stringing. Puka jewelry first became popular in Hawaii though the Cone Snail is found throughout the Indo-Pacific ocean.\n\nPuka shell jewelry used to be fairly expensive due to the labor involved in collecting enough naturally formed "shells" for a suitable string. Currently the Cone Snail shells are often harvested and other types of shells may also be used for faux puka jewelry.\n\nAuthenticity may be determined by simple observation. An overtly glossy patina indicates the shells have been tumble polished. If the edges are chipped, the shells were harvested and manually broken into shape. If the "puka" is perfectly circular, then the hole was assuredly drilled.
