Pronunciation
Noun
oo (plural oos)
- Any of four Hawaiian birds of the genus Moho, formerly classed with the honeyeaters and now believed to be extinct. [from 19th c.]
- 1898, Liliuokalani, Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen:
- On this visit I made careful inquiries as to the success of Mr. Gay's efforts to raise the "Oo" bird on this island.
- 2012, Julia Flynn Siler, Lost Kingdom, Grove Press, page 161:
- Several years earlier, she had arranged to bring three pairs of the rapidly vanishing ʻōʻō bird from Hawai‘i island to Kaua‘i, hoping they would form a new colony.

Verb
oo (stative, irregular)
- to be (something)
Usage notes
- It replaces the use of ya in sentences where a Class II subject marker cannot be used. It never takes any subject markers.
- It cannot be used alone and must always be used with verb endings such as -tok, -taam, -a'chi, etc.
- For the future tense, a'chi can be used as a standalone word rather than a suffix completely replacing the use of a verb and having the meaning "will be". Similarly, a'ni, "might be" could possibly work in a similar fashion, replacing the presence of an explicit verb as well, although it is not normally used in sentences expressing being something.
- The prefix hoo- is never used with any forms of the verb "to be" (ya, oo, a'chi).
- To ask questions such as "Is it a/an....", see the entries for the noun suffixes -to̠ (used after consonants) and -hto̠ (used after vowels).
