WHAT DOES THE WORD “AROHA” MEAN?
The word “aroha” (you probably know it in its Hawaiian form, “aloha”) is Maori, the language of the Maori (Polynesians). Often used to express greetings and farewells, always in a friendly and warm way, it has a deep meaning in Polynesian culture and is usually translated as “love” or “affection”, but its meaning goes beyond these simple words.
“Aroha” represents deep love, compassion, empathy and affection towards others. It is a concept that encompasses the idea of caring for those around us, showing kindness and affection towards others and maintaining harmonious and positive relationships. It can also be used to express a feeling of gratitude and respect towards nature and the world around us.
Associated with a deep respect for nature and the environment, it encourages us to take care of the earth and its resources.
Deeply rooted in Maori culture, “Aroha” reflects traditional Polynesian hospitality. Polynesians are known for their warm welcome to visitors, and “Aroha” is a symbol of this.
It is a fundamental concept to understand the world and human relationships.
