It’s the hawaiian word for girl (i think).

there is another word that when I’ve heard it, sounds like ‘pinae’.

That’s pinay, and it’s Tagalog (one of several languages of the Phillippines); it is the feminine form of pinoy, which is slang for what filipinos call each other as a term of endearment.

You’re welcome; for those unfamiliar with the word it sounds like [pin-EYE].
