HI hi

ALOHA

["This Hawaiian greeting can mean both hello and goodbye, often heard with a warm smile in the islands."]

"HI hi" plays on the double meaning of "hi"—first as the abbreviation for Hawaii, then as a casual greeting. The clue hints at a Hawaiian word for hello or goodbye, which is "aloha." It’s a clever way to combine the state’s initials with the idea of a friendly greeting.
