KA : Hapa is Hawaiian meaning half. Its use here is as a brand name, perhaps because the makers of the product are hapa perhaps because that's their name. Whatever the case, using a Hawaiian word for your brand makes it more appealing to locals who prefer to support local products. Domain is retail.

KA : Meli means bee in Hawaiian. The choice to use meli instead of bee was probably to appeal to local buyers while still describing the product. Domain is retail.

KA : Ku'ia is some kind of obstacle or to encounter an obstacles. As such I'm a little confused as to why one would use it as their brand name, I can only assume that it's their name. Despite all that though, the Hawaiian will still appeal to local customers. Domain is retail.

KA : This could probably serve as either Hawaiian or pidgin, but I'm choosing pidgin. "keiki kaukau" means kid food. Which is what the box is full of, toys for children in the form of local foods. My guess is that someone thought it was adorable, because it is. Domain is retail.

KA : This is a dubious use of pidgin in my opinion. Usually Shaka Shaka is used ti appeal to tourists, not locals. But the product was in a local store. Nonetheless, tourists do love anything seemingly local but not too local and this fits the bill. Domain retail.

KA : Mauna Loa is a mountain on the Big Island. It means "vast mountain" because of how big the mountain is. This is a classic brand who grow macadamia nuts there, they're obviously local and that's why people buy from them. Domain retail.

KA : Pū'ōhala menas the fruit of the hala. Pū is a very specific Hawaiian word for which there is no good translation but in this case it's like the fruit of the hala tree. The school is also a Hawaiian Immersion school

The languages that are used on the sign are Hawai’i Creole or Pidgin and English.

Both languages are presented in colorful and upper case letters but I think the Pidgin word “braddah” is the most colorful on the sign and has the least amount of grey letters.

The domain is on an example card for a T-shirt in the T&C store at Windward Mall.

The phrase in the sign is a common way people in Hawai’i explain how they know someone, to someone else. In this case the person that they’re talking about would probably be their grandma’s, brother’s, cousin’s friend.
- Why is Pidgin/Hawaiian being used here?:
Pidgin is being used here because it is a unique and intriguing way to make a shirt and it is also appropriate since the people in this island commonly use this type of language.
