English (English) Hawai'i Creole (Hawaiian Creole English)
The domain for this photo is education and school. The Pidgin in this case is saying that we need to put an end to violence. A direct translation of it would be “finish violence”. This relates to program at UH Manoa. The intended audience is UH Manoa students and faculty. The sign is at QLC. I believe it is printed on poster paper. The implied message as mentioned before is to put an end to violence. PAU to the program means “Prevention, Awareness, Understanding”. - CQ Multilingual Hawaiʻi

SU: Check Up #3 - What languages are used on the sign?: The languages that are used on the sign are Hawaiian and English. - How are the languages presented?: The Hawaiian language is presented in big, black letters and the English is presented in small, black letters. - Who is the audience?: The audience is the general public, but would probably be more directed towards locals and possibly non-locals. - What is the domain?: The domain is on an information card in a Times supermarket. - What is the sign telling people?: The sign is telling people that the “ka lekuke” is located here and that in English, this means lettuce. - Why is Pidgin/Hawaiian being used here?: Hawaiian is being used here to attract the attention of the locals and people who speak Hawaiian. It is also appropriate for it to be used here since our island consists of people who speak Hawaiian and it is also taught in a lot of schools, so it might be a way of educating people as well.

This is a restaurant sign. “Wat Get” is Pidgin (Hawaiian Creole) or “what is there” in English. Wat means “what” in English and “get” is derivative of Chinese from their sentence structure and has the meaning from this sentence “there is/is there.” I believe this sign is an example of symbolic-authentic because this is a common thing locals say and usually only locals get food from here.

The domain is school or education. The Hawaiian in this case is I believe to tell people to wear their mask properly and if not they cannot enter QLC. The intended audience is towards people who can understand Hawaiian or Hawaiian people. I believe this also attracts students into wondering what is meant by this image. I also believe that it is placed to provide a more linguistic landscape for Hawaiian. It is printed on a poster. The direct translation of this accord to google is “enter it, the nose protection, you cannot come in”. - CQ Multilingual Hawaiʻi

Instead of a sign just tell people to throw away their trash in the bins this has more attitude and tone so it created impact. The intended audience is for both tourists and locals at Kailua Beach Park. It is printed on a metal sheet. The implied as mentioned earlier was to not throw trash out on the beach.
