47334	United States Honolulu	The domain is novelties. The Pidgin is used as a birthday card to greet people. The intended audience is locals who want to give this card to another local, whose birthday it is. It is printed on card stock. The implied message is “it’s your birthday again, I see. It’s the day you receive plenty aloha and generosity.” This is a simple and direct translation of the phrase above. - CQ EC	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47313	United States Honolulu	AJR - EC This photo is of the billboard on Hawaiian Rent-All; the owners of this company tend to change their announcements every now and then and this was after the COVID-19 regulations were changed following December 1st.

47304	United States Honolulu	GM EXTRA CREDIT I was passing and saw this which says Maluna A’e O na Lahui Apau Ke ola ke kanaka which means - I tried finding what it meant but I only found out that it might mean something about being UH’s the moto. It means “above all nations is humanity”. The UH website explained the meaning - there is a couple of motos that they explain. It was placed on a cement barrier/bench, it has been there for some time.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47303	United States Honolulu	GM EXTRA CREDIT- This poster was in one of the freshman towers. The poster says Ka Papa Lo’I ‘O Kānewai - on one of the pages of the history, it states that it is piko for Hawaiian knowledge at the University of Hawaii at Manoa sitting at the bottom of the slopes of Wa’ahila. I believe that they were trying to educate us students about the topic and just made this posted to get more information out about it!	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47301	United States Honolulu	GM EXTRA CREDIT This aloha sign was in whole foods - in the food/deli area. I'm not quite sure why they have the word aloha just kind of floading in the deli because it doesn't really correlate to anything. This makes me think about how the word aloha is overused and that they just put it anywhere and everywhere.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47300	United States Honolulu	GM EXTRA CREDIT- I took this photo on the bus passing by going to Ala Moana mall. This is a beautiful moral stating “greetings aloha from Waikiki” which I would assume that someone local painted because they added quite a lot of detail ( even in the letters they added all the popular places/things in general around Waikiki). I bet lots of tourists love this moral to take pictures and to post on social media.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi

47237	United States Pearl City	This photo contains Pidgin, and was taken at Poke On Da Run in Pearl City. Not many tourists visit Pearl City, so Poke On Da Run seems to cater to the local demographic. They serve mostly local foods, and the Pidgin is used to contribute to this atmosphere. SM	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47236	United States Aiea	This photo was taken in Down to Earth’s Pearlridge location, displaying the brand “‘Okina.” The brand might use Hawaiian to automatically signify to consumers that they are locally owned.

The use of these signs brings awareness to local farmers and reminds customers to shop local. SM	Multilingual Hawaiʻi

47231	United States Honolulu	GM- I saw this card at Ala Moana target. The targeted audience is probably locals but maybe even tourist because it is in Ala Moana which is very packed with tourist. They used pidgin in the comic an example being “what is dat smell”.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
47230	United States Honolulu	GM - This was for an event space. They used the word da room which means the room. They may have used this to attract more people to look at their place.	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
