Pidgin (or Hawaiʻi Creole) originated as a form of communication used between English speaking residents and non-English speaking immigrants in Hawaiʻi.[4] It supplanted the pidgin Hawaiian used on the plantations and elsewhere in Hawaiʻi.

Proud to live in HAWAII!
COOL. I have to do this for my Linguistics project. hahaha
Where’s the rest of the video? There’s more to this documentary
This brings back SO many memories. I was in Hawaii for just two weeks for a vacation but I was so fascinated with pidgin! It reminds me of how my ethnic background speaks and there were SO many similarities! Speaking pidgin made me feel like a native Hawaiian and I miss Hawaii!
@thingsTheater Ha me neither! I was like O_O…..mom you know that?
Wow, I grew up in Hawaii and I speak and understand Pidgin pretty well, but this was educational even for me. I never knew “kau kau” was chinese.
I want to talk like that.
briliant
Hooo cuz da vigeo is bad lidat. Uncle wen really learn me how. Now I know now. Kden Shaka braddah kine
I like the explanation of the word “manapua.” man, i like eat one now. lol!
@kananilehua100, the Island Manapua Factory is in the Manoa Marketplace on the Longs side (not Safeway side). They’re really good!
Great video. I love the way that this video was made. The explanation about Pidgin Language in Hawaii was also great. I am glad that this video was made so people can understand and realize what the real Hawaii is really like.
what is the name of the place in the video with the roast duck and manapua – look some `ono!
@SPAMusubiHalau I completely agee 100%, these cultures were brought together unwillingly and under harsh circumstances and got along enough to create a language just to work together and co exist. Phenomenal! Can’t say I know of too many other cultures willing to do that out of neccesity or any other reason.
@kahooilokane That’s because you were using the Hawaiian word for pork bun. In China town Oakland or S.F., the people there speak Cantonese mainly and don’t understand Hawaiian pidgin. Now there are plenty of Hawaiians in the Bay Area so next time ask them to take you to the Pacific Islander store, they’re everywhere here and they got everything you want there.
My first time in San francisco’s china town, I went shop to shop looking for Manapua before fully understanding I was really looking for Char Siu Bao. I was irritated, how come these Chinese dont know what manapua is??? Lol No can help!
I have mixed feelings. Hawaiian is the language of Hawai’i, but I do agree that Pidgin is more commonly spoken & that it’s birth came out of the plantation era. I hope those who aren’t fully informed are not MISINFORMED. Other than that, I liked this video & the subtitles were a nice touch too. =)
loast pork and loast duk , some onos brah, la dat
I KNOW MANY HAWAIIANS WHO CAN GO STRAIGHT FROM ENGLISH, ENGLISH TO PIDGIN IN A MILISECOND.
I like this video. It is a really cool video. Thanks for making this video and uploading it for everyone to see.
manapua = power flower lol, i hope yall get that joke, oh but that look good…. ugh, i want some
I love Hawaii and it’s culture. It’s a true melting pot, not like the continental U.S. where everything is continually dumbed down and whitewashed.
