KA : This is a dubious use of pidgin in my opinion. Usually Shaka Shaka is used ti appeal to tourists, not locals. But the product was in a local store. Nonetheless, tourists do love anything seemingly local but not too local and this fits the bill. Domain retail.

KA : Mauna Loa is a mountain on the Big Island. It means "vast mountain" because of how big the mountain is. This is a classic brand who grow macadamia nuts there, they're obviously local and that's why people buy from them. Domain retail.

KA : Pū'ōhala menas the fruit of the hala. Pū is a very specific Hawaiian word for which there is no good translation but in this case it's like the fruit of the hala tree. The school is also a Hawaiian Immersion school

SU: Check Up #3
- What languages are used on the sign?:
The languages that are used on the sign are Hawai’i Creole or Pidgin and English.
- How is the language presented?:
Both languages are presented in colorful and upper case letters but I think the Pidgin word “braddah” is the most colorful on the sign and has the least amount of grey letters.
- Who is the audience?:
The audience is the general public, but would probably be more directed towards locals.
- What is the domain?:
The domain is on an example card for a T-shirt in the T&C store at Windward Mall.
- What is the sign telling people?:
The phrase in the sign is a common way people in Hawai’i explain how they know someone, to someone else. In this case the person that they’re talking about would probably be their grandma’s, brother’s, cousin’s friend.
- Why is Pidgin/Hawaiian being used here?:
Pidgin is being used here because it is a unique and intriguing way to make a shirt and it is also appropriate since the people in this island commonly use this type of language.
