AJR - Check In #2. As we see in this photo, the phrase “Lawai’a Krew”. I’m not so sure what Lawai’a means but I do believe it is a Hawaiian term. This picture was found in the T&C apparel store, therefore I would guess the intended audience is both locals and non-locals but locals are most likely to be drawn to this shirt

(SP) This is another example of Pidgin being used in a restaurant domain on a permanent plastic and metal sign. The use of “Shaka” is likely meant to appeal to tourists and locals alike, but maybe tourists more since Shaka is a Pidgin word that tourists may be familiar with and associate strongly with Hawaiian culture. It adds a sense of “true Hawaiian” to this store, which may attract mainland customers. It also was likely used because it’s very catchy and easy to remember “Shaka Shaka Tea Express”.

The domain is public, it’s on a hawaiian food store, so it’s probably meant for locals to know it’s a local place. - AB

AJR - Check In #2. This picture exhibits both Hawaiian and English words to describe the names of these plants as well as the significance it has to Hawaii. I would say the intended audience of this sign is primarily tourists given that it was in the Ala Moana shopping center. My guess is that the purpose of it is to teach tourists more of the significance that plants have on Oahu both to the island and the people

This is a made-up word (in English) that's supposed to "look" European (esp. Danish, although "ä" doesn't even exist in Danish)
