when i first learned hawaiian, i was like "these poly languages are so funny. there are many reduplication words". but then i realized indonesian is also like that 😅 abu abu, kupu kupu, mata mata, sama sama, gara gara, jalan jalan, hati hati, cumi cumi, kura kura, ubur ubur, biri biri, anak anak. I wonder what would someone from the other part of the world think when they visit indonesia (or any other austronesian language speaking countries) and they see a sign written "Hati hati pelan pelan banyak anak anak" (ok this is exagerrated but still makes complete sense) 🤣 well i guess that's what makes the austronesian languages unique *fun fact 01:08 ena'ena' in indonesian (slang) means "having s**"

Various Chinese languages also use reduplication words, but instead of nouns we use it on quantifiers. I think it likely came from Austronesian influence since they were originally from Southern China before the Han invasions from the north drove them out to South East Asia and the Pacific. So this likely came from ancient interactions between those two groups.

Also wanted to add a few additions for Samoan translation. These are archaic samoan words which are barely used anymore. Cat - Neli Dog - 'ulī Dolphin - Tafolā... same as whale..note Masimasi is a type of fish in Samoan. Frog - Lage. Mouse - 'iole. Shark - Faiaga (large shark)

well, the concept of heaven didn't exist in tonga before christianity came, so it makes sense for the word to derieve from english. if you're speaking about an old word for the afterlife in tonga, 'pulotu' would be the closest. it's where the deceased rest.
