The domain is in a safety/warning, used to tell people to let seniors take the front seats. The sign is meant for both tourists and speakers of hawaiian, given that the translation is right below it

EL-S Check up #2 : Hawaiian and English are being used. The Hawaiian words are bigger than the English words. I think it’s to let people know what the survey is named. The audience is probably people coming in from the mainland to talk about their flight experience. The domain is work. The sign is trying to get people engage into a survey.

This is the design on a T-Shirt. Shaka Bruddah is Pidgin (Hawaiʻi Creole). Shaka refers to a hand sign popular in local Hawaiʻi which has multiple meanings, some of which are ‘thanks’ ‘hello’ ‘goodbye’ while Bruddah is roughly equivalent to English ‘brother’ as a term of endearment. The English translation for Shaka is ‘hang loose’ which is provided on the shirt design. The Hawaiian Islands are located above the Shaka which is flanked by two coconut trees. The bottom contains the words Aloha and Hawaii. This shirt seems to be meant for outsiders making the T-shirt symbolic-synthetic because ‘hang loose’ is not commonly used by locals but rather is used more by the surfer community in the continental US.

I found this flyer on the bulletin board on campus. I suppose this is expressive sign because they use “kine” to share the local identity. SS

(SP) (Check in #2) This a framed semi-permanent poster visible on entrance to a student market/convenience store domain. The majority of this poster is in English, likely so that students from anywhere, even the mainland or other countries, can understand its main message easily. However, the word “Shaka” and the Shaka hand sign take up large section of the post, encouraging shoppers to look for the Shaka to know you’re buying from local sources. An iconic Pidgin word/symbol is used here to drive home the fact that circulating money back to Locals is very important, and this message would have been less impactful if they had used a non-Pidgin word, since Pidgin is often considered “the language of Locals”.

(SP)(Check in #2) this is a impermanent paper sign in the restaurant domain that contains English, Hawaiian, and Pidgin, but I am using it as a Pidgin submission. This sign is likely directed towards Locals or residents (the sign directly mentions kama'āina) who are more aware of current events in Hawai'i and want to support other Locals buy shopping locally; however, the majority of this sign is still in English so that it is as easy as possible for anyone to read it, no matter where they’re from. Hawaiian, and especially Pidgin (“da Shaka”) is used here to drive home the important of shopping Local and connect it more with the Local community, although in this case one could argue it has become more of a branding choice to appeal to readers’ desire to help Locals and Hawai'i’s economy.
