The domain is school or education. The Hawaiian in this case is I believe to tell people to wear their mask properly and if not they cannot enter QLC. The intended audience is towards people who can understand Hawaiian or Hawaiian people. I believe this also attracts students into wondering what is meant by this image. I also believe that it is placed to provide a more linguistic landscape for Hawaiian. It is printed on a poster. The direct translation of this accord to google is “enter it, the nose protection, you cannot come in”. - CQ Multilingual Hawaiʻi

AJR - Check In #3 This picture shows a an advertisement sign by Central Pacific Bank. The languages used in this sign are English and Pidgin with the word “Shaka” in large print while the rest of the English words are in much smaller print. With how large “Shaka” is compared to the rest of the words on the ad, it brings most of the focus to it while the rest of the ad acts as a background filler. The intended audience is anyone capable of speaking English since the ad is placed outside next to a major street Multilingual Hawaiʻi

AJR - Check In #3 This picture displays graffiti on a dumpster. In my understanding, the word “moke” refers to a male local of Hawaii, most often of Native Hawaiian descent, who partakes in activities such as fishing, BBQing, things of the like. The idea is that a “moke” is a true local of the islands. The intended audience can be considered to be anyone that sees this dumpster, however, with the message included it may be geared more towards locals who understand the meaning of the word Multilingual Hawaiʻi
