This is a mix of pidgin and english. “I wen bake one cake” is pidgin for “i baked you a cake”. This card could be classified as symbolic-authentic because it establishes emotions when read in pidgin.

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.

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.

This photo was taken at the Down to Earth grocery store in Kapolei. It says the state motto and it’s common English translation, which both have many interpretations. Many interpret the phrase as advocating for sovereignty. The domain is retail, so the company may be trying to brand themself as a positive contribution to Hawaii. SM

The sticker on this car parked in the side of the road says “can,” which is most likely from the phrase “if can, can; if no can, no can”. It is not referring to a soda can, but to possibility.

- What is the sign telling people?:
The phrase “kanak attack” is the feeling of intense laziness you get from eating too much. The plate shown in the photo of the Katsu chicken, Mac salad, 2 scoops of rice, meat with soy sauce and the Hawaiian Style drink is a very popular plate on the island and normally after eating this big of a meal people feel so tired and lethargic they they just want to knock out. Which is why the shirt says “Home of the kanak attack”.
- Why is Pidgin/Hawaiian being used here?:
Pidgin is being used here because it is an entertaining way to make a shirt. By wearing this shirt, it would show that you’re a proud local since Pidgin is like a signature in Hawai’i and so is the food shown.

KA : Kakimochi is a local term for fried "kaki" rice balls "mochi". In Japan it's called Arare. Here, the choice to use the local term instead of the Japanese one is due to its familiarity to most locals. Kakimochi is classic and well loved. the domain is retail/sales.

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.
