(SP)(check in #3) Hawaiian can be found on this permanent wooden sign at the exit of a nature reserve. Hawaiian was used here to thank the guests and encourage them to come again, but that it not clear to those who do not understand Hawaiian—this sign may have been placed here to add to the “beauty and authenticity of Hawai'i” feeling without actually having to be understood by most guests, and perhaps get a nod and a smile from guests who do speak Hawaiian. Many people unfamiliar with Hawaiian may see the language as something ancient, mystical, and powerful, so the park may have been trying to go for this feeling by adding a “mystical” phrase in Hawaiian at the exit (even though its actual meaning is quite mundane).

(SK) (#3) The domain of this photo is located in the North Shore of Oahu, specifically in Haleiwa. Uncle Bo’s is a restaurant that is in the main center of Haleiwa. We can find the word “grindz” located on this happy hour menu. This is the use of Pidgin and the purpose is to make tourists feel like they are getting a local and Hawaiian experience. The target audience is those eating and dining at Uncle Bo’s during happy hour.

Haleiwa
(SK) (#3) This photo is located in the North Shore of Oahu, specifically in Haleiwa. This is a floor mat found in a local surf shop with the Hawaiian flag in the background with the Pidgin phrase “DaKine.” The use of Pidgin on this floor mat is just as decoration and in a way familiarizing/normalizing Pidgin. The target audience is anyone who steps into the surf shop and looks around.
