Pin 46164 United States Honolulu
English (English) Hawai‘i (Hawaiian)
The sign has hawaiian and English on it. Showing off Duke Kahanamoku, it’s more of a tourist commodity that’s more for someone to use as decoration rather than informational. -NIP Multilingual Hawaiʻi

The domain is branding. The purpose how Hawaiian is used in this case is to relate the Hawaiian language to aspects of its culture such as healing traditions. The intended audience is those who are interested in Hawaiian culture. It is printed on card-stock. The implied message is to spread Hawaiian culture. This book talks about Hawaiian culture and it’s healing so those who are naturally interested in the Hawaiian language could also pick up this book and read it because language and culture go hand in hand. - CQ Multilingual Hawaiʻi

English (English) Hawai'i Creole (Hawaiian Creole English)
This is an example of Pidgin. It’s on a bag being sold so it’s more a commodity. I’d associate the brand Da Kine more with locals over tourists so it caters more to them. Though is accessible to both -NIP Multilingual Hawaiʻi
Pin 47190 United States Honolulu
English (English) Hawai‘i (Hawaiian)
The domain in this photo is branding. The Hawaiian in this photo is to refer to significant places in Hawaii. For example, Mauna Loa is the name of a volcano and Hana is a place located on Maui. The intended audience is those who want to try Hawaiian-inspired ice cream flavors. It is printed on a cup-like pint. The implied message is that unlike other ice cream flavors this one is special and exclusive to Hawaii. The name of this flavor makes the audience question the connection of “Rocky Road to Hana” and the brand itself. I believe that it is just wordplay. - CQ Multilingual Hawaiʻi

This is an example of Hawaiian. Ho’Āla meaning to awaken, rise up. It’s a sign advertising a spa so it’s more neutral in advertising to both tourists and locals. -NIP Multilingual Hawaiʻi

English (English) Hawai'i Creole (Hawaiian Creole English)
This has English, Hawaiian, and Pidgin. It’s a mock up surf report at Ala Moana Bowls which is a local spot that’s named with its Pidgin. It was outside of a clothing store so it’s probably more for tourists but has a touch of local flavor in the writing to make it more neutral. -NIP Multilingual Hawaiʻi

Pin 44121 United States Honolulu
English (English) Hawai‘i (Hawaiian)
This is an informative poster that was on The Bus. From the context of the English words used below, I can see that the meaning of “Malama Kupuna” implies putting our elders first, especially on public transportation. This also implies that the intended audience would be the local community, along with foreigners as English is also used. AJR Multilingual Hawaiʻi

The domain in this photo is branding and commodification. The purpose of using Hawaiian in this photo is to connect the sole purpose of what the book is about which is to teach/learn about Hawaiian. The intended audience is those who are interested in the Hawaiian language and want to learn it. It is printed on card-stock and paper. The implied message of the Hawaiian title directly translated means “the eight seas”. - CQ Multilingual Hawaiʻi

Pin 46170 United States Honolulu
English (English) Hawai‘i (Hawaiian)
This would be an example of Hawaiian. It’s pretty neutral on being for both locals and tourists mainly because it’s in Longs. It uses Keiki to communicate to both that it’s for kids and has nice fun designs that could be appealing to either side. -NIP Multilingual Hawaiʻi
