This photo was taken in Down to Earth’s Pearlridge location, displaying the brand “‘Okina.” The brand might use Hawaiian to automatically signify to consumers that they are locally owned. This is in the retail domain, and is probably seen by mostly local people. SM

Submitted 12/18/24. One English sign, "Repair and maintenance of cars prohibited in parking area" is translated into Spanish in another sign by its side: "Prohibidó hacer reparaciones y mantenimiento de vehículos en la area de estacionamiento" (is this correct Spanish?). Farther away, one sign appears only in English: (something about the managment will not take responsibility for anything stolen out of cars parked in the lot). Who does managment presume to be the theives and who does maintenance on their cars?

This photo contains Pidgin, and was taken at Poke On Da Run in Pearl City. Not many tourists visit Pearl City, so Poke On Da Run seems to cater to the local demographic. They serve mostly local foods, and the Pidgin is used to contribute to this atmosphere. SM

Submitted 12/18/24. The Douglass campus motto (under the fir tree) is Σοφία και Σωφροσυνη, which means "Wisdom and Sobriety". The motto for all of Rutgers is in Latin. Both are considered languages of Western Enlightenment, but perhaps using the older Greek for the women's college was a claim to women's ability to go deep in their learning.
