SU: Check Up #3
- What languages are used on the sign?:
The languages that are used on the sign are Hawai’i Creole or Pidgin and English.
- How is the language presented?:
The Pidgin is presented in skinny, yellow letters and the English is presented in smaller letters in a variety of colors that are placed in different areas of the photo.
- Who is the audience?:
The audience is the general public, but would probably be more directed towards locals.
- What is the domain?:
The domain is on an example card for a T-shirt in the T&C store at Windward Mall.
- 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.

(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.

(SP) (Check in #2) this is a photo of a semi-permanent bumper sticker (taken with permission) in the domain of transportation. It’s main audience is Locals and speakers of Pidgin because “mo bettah” is likely not a phrase that non-Locals will be too familiar with. It is likely meant to show off the car owner’s pride of being from/having visited Molokai and desire to express Molokai’s excellence/superiority over other islands

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.

KA : Meli means bee in Hawaiian. The choice to use meli instead of bee was probably to appeal to local buyers while still describing the product. Domain is retail.
