Hawaii: in or on?

Which is right: He has a holiday home in/on Hawaii?

  

Top answer

The biggest of the Hawaiian Islands is actually called Hawaii (but it is normally referred to as the Big Island). In that context, you can live on Hawaii, but if you mean the state, it's "in".

Hello lia lilia,

with countries, cities, and states, "in" is used.

Best wishes,

Joseph
