I still talk pidgin in the mainland. I will never lose my pidgin.

What ADVANTAGES are there to HACKING away at pidgeon? It will NOT get you into a UNIVERSITY. Nor will it help anyone get a JOB. Neither will it help anyone advance in the MILITARY! It is NOT a talent by any stretch of the imagination. I went to a UNIVERSITY and GOT RID of my ACCENT!

People that have not grown up in Hawai’i will never get the nuances and tone of pidgin speakers. I can tell instantly if someone speaks pidgin if they grew up here or pretending.

What do u call a haole learning pigeon? Training bra

My dad told me that they use to talk pigeon during the Korean war so the others couldn't understand what they were saying.😅

Waianae Searider here.. did I catch Searider Productions? I live in SW Louisiana.. just like Hawaii kine.. the cajuns.. creoles.. very similar to pidgin. Shoots.😊

ha kam i da only one watching in 2024?

Very different from Papua New Guinea pidgin which I speak. Em narakain tokples tru ya.

Growing up, I've been able to see my mom's side of the family in Hawaii (she was born & raised in Hawaii and her parents are Japanese immigrants) a handful of times. I don't encounter Pidgin often nowadays besides whenever my mom (or I) uses it. My father had a hard time understanding Hawaiian Pidgin though.

brah ,,,,,,,, get one bus pass and one comb

No can

Okole puka...

Wat dis bugga wearing a lei for

U no da kine haole JOJ odah FOB no can speak pidgin Brah.

All I remember as a small kid is how my one aunty used to scold us young kids for speaking pidgin. She was a school teacher, born and raised plantation, but went school mainland and taught mainland school. I still talk pidgin, I no care. It’s who we are, even though I grew up on the mainland and my friends would tell me my mom talks funny.

So basically you have to sound ill educated.

Each island and district has their own way of speaking pigeon.

Like B-Rad

I went to school with locally born and raised Haoles

They even teach Pidgin at UH now.

I love to listen to pidgin,it sounds like music to me.

I like pidgin because it's cheep-er

Can? Braddah can liddat. Even da haoles, if wen stay from hanabutta daze, ho, dey geffum choke kine auready. Da kanaka stay in da mana az why. Aloha stay colla bline. It's in da Aina evrywez. Even if gotta false crack. Bruddaz stio goin be braddaz. *Aloha Nui Loa!!*

It’s all patwa Jamaican English everybody try to recreate

Broke da mout - good grindz (food), taste good

Eh how come stay lahdat? No can, but if no can still can. If no fit put spit. Das jus how it goes. We learn'm lahdat. Da kine anything goes

This is amazing! Can't believe I only heard about this now (well, better late than never... 😁)! God bless everyone involved in this awesome project, so important for Hawai'i. I pray this translation will reach and bless many, many people. So awesome. 😄

It's not brah, it's bah. Wussah bah

It's crazy how different people who make dialects of English all end up up sounding the same. Like Asian and Polynesian people and on the other side of the country completely different languages from a different language family changed English in the same way.

That is borderline Geechee right there... But we don't let white people speak Geechee at all

Pidgin is just like speaking patwa Jamaican

I'm so homesick watching this.

Born and raised O'ahu Hawai'i. Moved to Europe. 1st time I went London (south east london) I was small kine trippin cuz kinda sound like pidgin but wit one English accent. Get choke slang from Jamaica so das why sound da same. Plus dey kinda get da same riddim when deu talk. Ovadea de say "you good brudduh" (meaning: howzit braddah"

Solid

If your a local haole you will learn to speak pidgin

Pigeon is a bird. Pidgin is a language. Folks in the comments are cracking me up. Someone said "rebellious" english... whatever that means 🤦🏽‍♀️

This is awesome! I would love to see, or get a copy of the handout somehow.

I’m a Haole, grew up in Hawaii through the 70s… eventually it came natural from hanging around the North Shore as a kid

“Wats up looser”?!😂🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Haoles came from the ones that No Hau, ole hau, which is the breath of life the the Hawaiian's shared. The foreigners didnt share the breath so they called them haoles or The ones that no breath.

My family both sides were raised in hawaii. I was the only one born off island bc my dad was stationed in Kentucky. They moved back when I was 2 so I grew up in Waianae. Spent 10 years growing up there(I'm 14) Tho my parents grew up in waianae they do speak pidgin but only when speaking to relatives or cousins so I never really spoke pidgin. There is some words tho that comes naturally in pidgin, but I always speak pidgin when I'm mad.

Met one bradah bradah at the north shore. Bleach blond his hair. Bradah speaking pidgin. I no kid. I was smo kine shocked🤣

Can Hawaiians learn English?

Hilarious! Sub titles explaining what's being said. How come my CZcams doesn't have a button to convert to Pidgin?

the pidgen is so fkn dahm😂😂

All the best.

The real pigin is the housing projects

Waianae high school is home of all pigeons

“Salutations my friend.” I wen crack up when he said dat! 🤣

Why sound like an idiot?
