HK – There is Hawaiian in this but in a Pidgin Format. Although The Bus isnʻt pidgin the way they say can be considered Pidgin. “Aloha the bus” can be defined as “Love the bus.” This is a bus stop bench in fron of Gateway Hale. I dont think students even notice that its even there. But it is faced towards the road so it is showing appreciation towards the Bus Drivers that drive the busses.

HK – Shaka is not Hawaiian. Rather its a term for hang loose used by surfers. The term has become more thoough a greeting and farwell sign here in Hawaiʻi. We dont say Shaka but the gestures is used more. Thats just what we call um. It has become our local culture to do it. In this case Hang Loose referese to the Tea to be very calming and chill.

HK – Ka Leo is Hawaiian for “The Voice”. It is our Schools paper here at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa . Here is a newpaper box that students can grab paper from on the way to and from Campus Center. This is ment for the students here in UH Mānoa but I think only a few students here know what Ka Leo means. I think a lot of people is just aware of it rather then the definition which is “The Voice” and it stands perfectly what a newspaper is.
