HK - Last Pidgin example of brewing examples, made by the same company, these are just some of their options here in Hawaiʻi. Pineapple Mana is the spirit or energy of Pineapple. We are saying that the purest forms of pineapple are in this flavor, captured in a can of ʻono beer. This might be a reach out to Haoleʻs who may want to try out this flavor and this company, though it may just be for locals. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

HK - This is a bag that I found in Foodland in front of the cashier lines. It is Hawaiian and Pidgin present but I would like to point out the lower left-hand corner of the bag, Hana Hou. This is a very common saying where it can be used in both Pidgin and Hawaiian with the emphasis on using this saying for “do it again” whether that's a performance, an act, or an action, typically this is more common in performances such as shows or musical singing or dancing or playing instruments. This is just advertising the local culture here in Hawaiʻi to anyone that comes across this bag and I feel like it does somehow capture the spirit here. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

HK – WE GO BEACH! – If you are a local this is straight pidgin, this is a poster that I found on one of the floors here at the freshman towers. I think a lot of the residents here may think it's bad grammar but we locals would only know, this is how we speak. One of the issues I think this kind of establishes is how we can bridge the gap of people who know pidgin and who donʻt. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

HK – F**A is our pidgin slang for the F word. This is on numerous signs throughout Oʻahu and this seems like just some person wanting to be a nuisance. It's just graffiti and nothing more. Haole could eventually figure what this is without any knowledge of Pidgin. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

HK - Here on one of the floors of the Aloha Towers in Mānoa, we have a wall of Hawaiian words up for display. Its targeted the residents of the towers. Ment to educate the Haole (Foreign) residents and also some locals who donʻt know the language. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

HK - “Ua Mau Ka ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono” – The Life of the land is perpetuated in Righteousness” – Quoted from King Kamehameha III in Thomas Square, King Kauikeaouli proclaimed this to his people when the George Paulet incident was resolved from a brief takeover of Hawaiʻi. However, the British would continue to recognize the Independence of our nation and our Hae Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Flag) would be raised again. There is more to this history but this is on the stage of the garden in the middle of the International Market. It is on a little plaque in the center of the stage. I feel that this should be made bigger because this is a crucial part of history that seems to be glanced over, especially how the history of this quote's origins is such an important aspect that the International Market does not seem to mention it. Only Hawaiians would know the history of this and the significance of what Kamehameha III said and went through. Should this history be mentioned or is it enough to have this quote for tourists and locals to see? Multilingual Hawaiʻi

HK - Holoholo is a local term here in Hawaiʻi where the word is used in the context of going to hang out or “cruz.” “We go Holoholo.” This is a shop perpendicular to the International Market where multiple customers from tourists to Locals go to grab a quick bite or get some souvenirs. Although I am pretty sure that no tourist would know what this means and be amazed by how colorful it looks and all the items available for sale. It's not much about cultural appropriation but is it misinforming our “customers” in interpreting Holoholo as “Cafe and Market?”. We can see this a lot where people would be misinformed because of lack of information Multilingual Hawaiʻi

HK - Pāʻina Lānai is the food court in the International Market down in Waikīkī. Pāʻina from ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi is translated to “sharing a meal” and Lānai is like a porch area or a terrace. In the sense of putting these two words together, you create the English equivalent of a Food Court, although this isn't the direct translation, it can be interpreted like a Food Court. This commodification of Hawaiian to English is used all over Waikīkī with the International market being one place that uses and embraces the Hawaiian Culture for all Tourists to see. This targets tourists while also enticing locals with aesthetics. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

Strolling along the street in a city, I saw a sign with directions in two languages: Hungarian, and Slovakian. The multilingual sign brought back the memory of how language can open up to accessibility and inclusivity. Having grown up in a multicultural environment myself, I experienced how language barriers shut communities off. The use multiple languages in public places not only takes precedence toward diverse populations but affirms their presence. This sign reminded me that linguistic diversity should be treated as something very positive and not as a challenge. It is multilingualism that brings people closer ad relates them to one another.

The other day, while sitting on the tram, I came across a public transport announcement system that switched from Hungarian to English. This was one such incident when I began to realize just how multilingualism is increasingly recognized in public places, accommodating diverse populations. It makes me reflect how these multilingual announcements are important to let everybody move around the city in comfort. Raised with multiple languages, I was constantly made to realize the value of being able to understand and be understood. Through these announcements, it really underlined how much access to language can add to public services and to the inclusivity of a city. Multilingual Hawaiʻi
