I found this on a sticker at T and C. It said “Stay Stoked.” There is English and Pidgin within this phrase. The stay part is Pidgin for “to be” and stoked means to be enthusiastic or excited for something. I think that this is symbolic-synthetic because it is a sense of the ‘local’ and allows locals to connect. MF

The domain in this case relates to personal needs and the general public. The Hawaiian in this case acts as the name for this clothing store. Mahina just means month(s). The intended audience is those seeking a more hawaiian and maybe traditional styled clothing. This is a sign and is not printed. The implied message is shown by establishing a connection between the Hawaiian word and and the Hawaiian-style clothing.

The domain is in relation to the general public more specifically those at the shopping center. The Hawaiian in this case adds authenticity to the community. In particular of this area it was booming with a lot of tourists so in a way to the tourists it gives off a Hawaii vibe. The intended audience is the public. It is printed on a sheet of metal. The implied message is to not do the following actions. Kokua meaning help so the phrases mean “please help” and for Mahalo “goodbye”.

AJR - Check In #3 Pidgin is being used in this makeshift street sign as you can see in this photo with the phrase “mo betta place”. The intended audience is most likely locals but can be considered on a wider scale and be aimed more towards anyone.
