Noun

hāihói

1. (Patsho) Circle of friends. This relates to group of friends or peer group who interacts on common goal or purpose. It is a compound word in two syllables i.e. 'hai' which refers to friend and 'hoi' translates to a group of any living or non living beings. But the word hai transformed the entire word 'haihoi' to refer living beings.
