This is an example of Pidgin. It’s on a bag being sold so it’s more a commodity. I’d associate the brand Da Kine more with locals over tourists so it caters more to them. Though is accessible to both -NIP Multilingual Hawaiʻi

The domain in this photo is branding. The Hawaiian in this photo is to refer to significant places in Hawaii. For example, Mauna Loa is the name of a volcano and Hana is a place located on Maui. The intended audience is those who want to try Hawaiian-inspired ice cream flavors. It is printed on a cup-like pint. The implied message is that unlike other ice cream flavors this one is special and exclusive to Hawaii. The name of this flavor makes the audience question the connection of “Rocky Road to Hana” and the brand itself. I believe that it is just wordplay. - CQ Multilingual Hawaiʻi

This is an example of Hawaiian. Ho’Āla meaning to awaken, rise up. It’s a sign advertising a spa so it’s more neutral in advertising to both tourists and locals. -NIP Multilingual Hawaiʻi

This is a poster in UHM’s Shidler building. The use of Hawaiian in this poster shows that the intended audience is the local community. It also creates a sense of “togetherness”. AJR Multilingual Hawaiʻi

English (English) Hawai'i Creole (Hawaiian Creole English)
This has English, Hawaiian, and Pidgin. It’s a mock up surf report at Ala Moana Bowls which is a local spot that’s named with its Pidgin. It was outside of a clothing store so it’s probably more for tourists but has a touch of local flavor in the writing to make it more neutral. -NIP Multilingual Hawaiʻi

This is an informative poster that was on The Bus. From the context of the English words used below, I can see that the meaning of “Malama Kupuna” implies putting our elders first, especially on public transportation. This also implies that the intended audience would be the local community, along with foreigners as English is also used. AJR Multilingual Hawaiʻi

The domain in this photo is branding and commodification. The purpose of using Hawaiian in this photo is to connect the sole purpose of what the book is about which is to teach/learn about Hawaiian. The intended audience is those who are interested in the Hawaiian language and want to learn it. It is printed on card-stock and paper. The implied message of the Hawaiian title directly translated means “the eight seas”. - CQ Multilingual Hawaiʻi

English (English) Hawai‘i (Hawaiian)
This would be an example of Hawaiian. It’s pretty neutral on being for both locals and tourists mainly because it’s in Longs. It uses Keiki to communicate to both that it’s for kids and has nice fun designs that could be appealing to either side. -NIP Multilingual Hawaiʻi

English (English) Hawai‘i (Hawaiian)
The domain in this photo is branding and commodification. The Hawaiian in this case is “Hula Pahu” and this is the title of the book. It is also a direct translation of the subtitle, “drum dance”. The purpose of using Hawaiian adds credibility to the book because it talks about Hawaiian culture. It is natural to put the Hawaiian language when talking about Hawaiian culture. The book is specifically targeted on people who want to learn about Hawaiian culture specifically hula. This is printed on card-stock and paper. The implied message is to educate people about hula. - CQ Multilingual Hawaiʻi

This is the menu at South Shore Grill. We see the use of Pidgin in this menu to showcase their “local favorites”; “keiki dog,” “small kine”. The intended audience is both local and foreigner customers. AJR Multilingual Hawaiʻi

This is an example of Pidgin and Hawaiian. With Huli and being a cooking style. And Mele Kalikimaka being merry Christmas in Hawaiian. While fiyah is spelt in the Pidgin style and the whole of the shirt being a more local oriented design. -NIP Multilingual Hawaiʻi

I would consider this Pidgin because it incorporates both English and Hawaiian in the phrase “Join the Ohana”. This is another poster up at South Shore Grill. The intended audience can also be both locals and people of other ethnic groups living on the island. AJR Multilingual Hawaiʻi
