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.

This sticker, made by a local company, features the Pidgin phrase “Cheehoo” stylized as the Champion brand logo. Cheehoo is an exclamatory phrase used when something exciting is happening. I think that stylizing this local phrase as a trendy apparel company makes it more accessible for younger audiences. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

This is one of my favorite Pidgin phrases and it just means “No worries!”. The “beef curry” part doesn’t mean anything and is only used for the rhyme, but this sticker shows a more literal representation with beef curry as the background. I chose to put this sticker on my water bottle because if someone recognizes it, I know they’re local! Multilingual Hawaiʻi
