- What languages are used on the sign?:
The languages that are used on the sign are Hawai’i Creole or Pidgin and English.
- How is the language presented?:
Both languages are presented in colorful and upper case letters but I think the Pidgin word “braddah” is the most colorful on the sign and has the least amount of grey letters.
- Who is the audience?:
The audience is the general public, but would probably be more directed towards locals.
- What is the domain?:
The domain is on an example card for a T-shirt in the T&C store at Windward Mall.
- What is the sign telling people?:
The phrase in the sign is a common way people in Hawai’i explain how they know someone, to someone else. In this case the person that they’re talking about would probably be their grandma’s, brother’s, cousin’s friend.
- Why is Pidgin/Hawaiian being used here?:
Pidgin is being used here because it is a unique and intriguing way to make a shirt and it is also appropriate since the people in this island commonly use this type of language.

The domain for this photo is education and school. The Pidgin in this case is saying that we need to put an end to violence. A direct translation of it would be “finish violence”. This relates to program at UH Manoa. The intended audience is UH Manoa students and faculty. The sign is at QLC. I believe it is printed on poster paper. The implied message as mentioned before is to put an end to violence. PAU to the program means “Prevention, Awareness, Understanding”.

This is a restaurant sign. “Wat Get” is Pidgin (Hawaiian Creole) or “what is there” in English. Wat means “what” in English and “get” is derivative of Chinese from their sentence structure and has the meaning from this sentence “there is/is there.” I believe this sign is an example of symbolic-authentic because this is a common thing locals say and usually only locals get food from here.

Musubi is a word originally made in Hawaii, though with Japanese influence. The proper Japanese equivalent would be “onigiri”.

The domain is school or education. The Hawaiian in this case is I believe to tell people to wear their mask properly and if not they cannot enter QLC. The intended audience is towards people who can understand Hawaiian or Hawaiian people. I believe this also attracts students into wondering what is meant by this image. I also believe that it is placed to provide a more linguistic landscape for Hawaiian. It is printed on a poster. The direct translation of this accord to google is “enter it, the nose protection, you cannot come in”.

The domain in this case relates to personal needs and the general public. The Hawaiian in this case acts as the name for this clothing store. Mahina just means month(s). The intended audience is those seeking a more hawaiian and maybe traditional styled clothing. This is a sign and is not printed. The implied message is shown by establishing a connection between the Hawaiian word and and the Hawaiian-style clothing.

The domain is in relation to the general public more specifically those at the shopping center. The Hawaiian in this case adds authenticity to the community. In particular of this area it was booming with a lot of tourists so in a way to the tourists it gives off a Hawaii vibe. The intended audience is the public. It is printed on a sheet of metal. The implied message is to not do the following actions. Kokua meaning help so the phrases mean “please help” and for Mahalo “goodbye”.
