Pronunciation: chee-hoo (draw it out loud and proud!)

Chee hoo is a loud, joyful shout you’ll hear all over Hawaii – at parties, concerts, beach days, and just about any celebration. It’s a local way of showing excitement, pride, or hype. It’s not really a word–more like a feeling you shout into the world.

You might hear it at a graduation, when someone catches a huge wave, or when your team wins. It’s a cheer that says, “Yeah!” “Awesome!” or “Let’s go!” – but in local style.

Local Tip: 
If you want to blend in at a local event, throw in a good chee hoo when the vibe feels right. Pro tip: hold the chee and let the hoo rise at the end. It’s all about the feeling, not overthinking it.

Cultural Note:
Chee hoo isn’t just a noise, it’s part of the joy and energy that runs deep in local culture. It’s about being loud, proud, and celebrating life in the moment, Hawaii style.
