ไทย (Thai)
When I went to Thai Mee Up in the Kihei location the first thing I noticed was the Thai writing on the food truck. I eaten there before, but I never really stopped to look at the language on the sign. Seeing the Thai script made me think about how many different cultures and languages are part of everyday life in Hawaiʻi. Even something as simple as a food truck becomes a multilingual space. Being there made me pay more attention to how language shows identity, culture, and community, especially in a place as diverse as Maui. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

This picture was taken in Down to Earth in Kapolei (retail domain). A sign lists Hawaiian values and their meaning to the Down to Earth corporation. It is displayed in the deli/beverage section of the grocery store. Not many tourists go grocery shopping in Kapolei, so it must be for local people to see. The implied message is that Down to Earth’s business model is supported by Hawaiian values. (SM) Multilingual Hawaiʻi

This is a card that says “ey! Dis card no stay late” (hwc). In English this says wait! This card is not late. In other words the person is saying that they are not giving the card, after your birthday is passed. This is symbolic-authentic. R.N. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

This is a card that says “Minahs brah”, “Shaka, brah”, “laydahs, brah”, and “What, brah” (hwc). This is a card that is using humor. Because brah does not mean bra it is short for braddah which means “brother” in English. Minahs is minor; to locals it also means “it is not a big deal”. Laydahs is later. This is symbolic-authentic.

This card says “here’s one bottled water fo’ go with your birthday cake” and there is a bottle that says “local kine tap water, straight from da pipe” (hwc). The first phrase in English means here is a bottled water to go with your birthday cake. And the phrases on the bottle says local tap water, water coming from the faucet. This a humor saying that our tap water is clean so you do not need to get it from bottled water from the store. This is symbolic-authentic. R.N. Multilingual Hawaiʻi
