(SP) This is a photo of a bench on a corner in the domain of a public park. It is permanent and it’s medium is stone. It is a quote in Hawaiian and I’m not sure what it’s saying, though it may be a popular or familiar quote among Hawaiian speakers, or it could just be a one off quote that was added for decoration. It is clearly made for Locals who understand Hawaiian, because anyone who can’t speak the language obviously won’t get much from it. It’s meant to make the bench and stone structure more beautiful and connected to the state of Hawai'i and its history.

Kapolei
This photo was taken in the produce section of Down to Earth’s Kapolei location. The sign advertises Small Kine Farms, a local farm that Down to Earth sources produce from. The use of Pidgin suggest that Small Kine Farms is local and a small business, which would please consumers who try to shop sustainably. SM

(SP) this is an impermanent plastic and paper sign in our elevator in the domain of shared living/education. It uses the word Kokua as in please help (the community). It’s reminding people to social distance during Covid. The majority of the sign is in English because it needs to be understood by everyone who lives here, who may or may not be from Hawai'i. The meaning of Kokua isn’t too hard to figure out even if you aren’t from Hawai'i, and it may have been added to add a more “Hawaiian” atmosphere to the dorm and also because Kokua is an important and commonly heard concept in Hawai'i.

This photo was taken in Down to Earth’s Pearlridge location. The product displayed is called “Fruit In Da Coconut,” using Pidgin. The company may be using this name to make their product seem more local or traditional. Mostly locals will see this product at the grocery store. SM
