This is an example of pidgin. Shaka being a local hand sign for greetings and Braddah kine being a term for being laid back and friendly with others almost like family. It’s a print on a shirt so it’s a sellable item. It’s appealing more towards locals but has tourist appeal because of the kind of message it has.

The domain is novelties. The Pidgin is used as a birthday card to greet people. The intended audience is locals who want to give this card to another local, whose birthday it is. It is printed on card stock. The implied message is “it’s your birthday again, I see. It’s the day you receive plenty aloha and generosity.” This is a simple and direct translation of the phrase above. - CQ EC
