GM - This was for an event space. They used the word da room which means the room. They may have used this to attract more people to look at their place.

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!

GM- I saw this card at Ala Moana target. The targeted audience is probably locals but maybe even tourist because it is in Ala Moana which is very packed with tourist. They used pidgin in the comic an example being “what is dat smell”.

GM - This card was at the Ala Moana target. This card says “Chee hoo” which is similar to woohoo - when you are celebrating or if something is exciting. For this card / I believe it was for a birthday.

This photo was taken at the Down to Earth grocery store in Kapolei. It says the state motto and it’s common English translation, which both have many interpretations. Many interpret the phrase as advocating for sovereignty. The domain is retail, so the company may be trying to brand themself as a positive contribution to Hawaii. SM
