Tita

/TEE-tah/

A tough local girl. Not someone you want to mess with.

A tita is a local woman who can hold her own. She's tough, direct, takes no lip. Not an insult — more like a badge. A tita will help you change a tire and then cuss you out for not knowing how.

Examples

  • Watch out, she one tita.
  • Da tita wen back up her sista.
  • All the titas was at the lūʻau.
