The sticker on this car parked in the side of the road says “can,” which is most likely from the phrase “if can, can; if no can, no can”. It is not referring to a soda can, but to possibility.

This birthday card says “Jus wanted fo’ tell you...” which in english means “I just wanted to tell you..”
This is an example of symbolic authentic because it is used to make connections with pidgin through emotions, such as humor and happiness.

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

This picture was taken in Down to Earth in Kapolei (retail domain). A sign lists Hawaiian values and their meaning to the Down to Earth corporation. It is displayed in the deli/beverage section of the grocery store. Not many tourists go grocery shopping in Kapolei, so it must be for local people to see. The implied message is that Down to Earth’s business model is supported by Hawaiian values. (SM)

This is a mix of pidgin and english. “I wen bake one cake” is pidgin for “i baked you a cake”. This card could be classified as symbolic-authentic because it establishes emotions when read in pidgin.

This card is a symbolic-authentic. It is meant to be read on pidgin and would be more used between locals than outsiders.
