Okay, so there are seven consonants and five vowels in the hawaiian alphabet.
00:10
Now, how many three -letter words can you form under these two conditions? two consonants are never together and words always end in a vowel.
00:29
Okay, so remember we're only forming three -letter words.
00:32
So let's look at the possible structure of these words.
00:48
So since the last letter always needs to be a vowel, right, and two consonants are never together, one possible structure would be a consonant followed by a vowel and then another vowel.
01:15
Another possibility would be, so vowel at the end, first letter is a vowel, second letter would be a consonant.
01:29
Now there's a third possibility.
01:35
We could have a word with no consonants at all.
01:40
So that means vowel on the first, second, and third positions...
