Pin 46075 United States Honolulu
English (English) Hawai‘i (Hawaiian)
AJR - Check in #2. This picture shows the phrase “SustĀINAbility” in much bigger font than the English/Hawaiian description behind it. By doing so, it combines both English and Hawaiian but gearing the focus more towards the Hawaiian phrase of “Aina.” In my understanding, this phrase refers to having respect towards the land and all that it provides for us, therefore by putting these two words together it creates a Hawaiian claim on sustainability. I would say the intended audience is primarily locals as most tourists most likely don’t know what Aina means Multilingual Hawaiʻi

AJR - Check In #2. As we see in this photo, the phrase “Lawai’a Krew”. I’m not so sure what Lawai’a means but I do believe it is a Hawaiian term. This picture was found in the T&C apparel store, therefore I would guess the intended audience is both locals and non-locals but locals are most likely to be drawn to this shirt Multilingual Hawaiʻi

AJR - Check In #2. This picture exhibits both Hawaiian and English words to describe the names of these plants as well as the significance it has to Hawaii. I would say the intended audience of this sign is primarily tourists given that it was in the Ala Moana shopping center. My guess is that the purpose of it is to teach tourists more of the significance that plants have on Oahu both to the island and the people Multilingual Hawaiʻi

EL-S Checkup #2 : Languages that are used on the sign is Hawaiian and Japanese. There are two Pualani, and one of them is bigger. I think the purpose of this is to catch people’s attention when they enter. The domain is at the international airport. I think what it’s trying to say is the locations of where people are welcoming others. I think Hawaiian is being used here because it’s to welcome them to the island. Multilingual Hawaiʻi
