If you’re planning a trip to the islands, eat where the locals eat, wear what they wear, and learn how the locals speak.įor those looking to spread their wings and get familiar with Hawaii’s local lingo, here are some key terms to brush up on. When visiting Hawaii you’ll catch excerpts of pidgin everywhere – from the girl serving you shave ice on the North Shore of Oahu, to the directions on where to find the bathroom at the beach. Much like Hawaii’s ethnic makeup, pidgin is a mixing pot of ethnicities from around the world including Portuguese, Hawaiian, Cantonese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean and Spanish. In Hawaii’s plantation days, pidgin grew out of a need to communicate between English-speaking and non-English speaking immigrants. Called “olelo pai ai” or “pounding-taro language” in Hawaiian, Hawaii Creole English makes a frequent appearance in the dialect of kamaaina (locals). In Hawaii pidgin isn’t a type of bird, but a way of speaking.
