This photo of the Chinese signage at Fook Yuen Seafood Restaurant, one of my favorite places to eat, reminds me of how multilingualism shapes everyday life in Hawai’i. The bright Chinese characters feel familiar and comforting, signaling a cultural presence that has long been part of our islands. Seeing this signage alongside English storefronts reflects the coexistence of immigrant histories and local identity in shared public spaces. For me, dining here is more than enjoying good food, it’s a reminder of how language preserves heritage, builds community, and keeps cultural traditions visible. It shows how multilingual spaces quietly enrich Hawai’i’s urban landscape.

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.

Seeing the HOKA store signage at Ala Moana reminded me of how global languages and cultural meaning flows through everyday spaces in Hawai’i. Hoka means “to fly” in Māori, and the bird embedded in the “O” symbolizes movement, freedom, and uplift, ideas that resonate strongly in an island context. Even in a commercial setting, this small linguistic detail carries cultural significance and reflects how Indigenous languages from across the Pacific appear in our public landscape. Standing in line outside the store, I became more aware of how multilingual branding connects communities, introduces shared symbolism, and adds depth to our shopping environment.

This is a card that says “Simon sez act lolo”, “Simon sez make one Shaka”, “Simon sez wiggle yo’ okole” (hwc). Lolo is Hawaiian but written as lōlō which means crazy. Sez is says in English. Yo’ is short for your. Okole is Hawaiian but normally written as ‘Okole which means butt. Shaka is a term that is a symbol of goodbye or hello. This is symbolic-authentic. R.N.
