    the "yeah, no" actually comes from Hawaiian. The "no" is like an adjective toward what weʻre saying. For example, in the Hawaiian Language, we say "leʻaleʻa nō." Leʻaleʻa meaning fun and nō meaning very or indeed. So when pidgin happened, I think the no come from that nō. So when we say "yeah, no" we mean "yes, very much indeed"

    I love your show. In this episode you referenced "a penny saved. . .". When I first met you way back in the 80's, you were saving all your pennies, and other spare change, by tossing the coins onto your patio. Your back yard was paved with coins! I keep mine in a jar, but different strokes, eh?

    I miss hearing pidgin every day. I was 19 and moved from mainland to Keneohe, spent all my time with local locals and bit by bit started speaking it cuz it's all i heard most of the time. At some point it sank in and I felt it, it flowed through me. To dis day stay in my heart. Hawaii and the people there are magic.

    I just found your channel and I absolutely love it. It's like a nano vacation. I particularly liked how local Hawaiians use "yeah no?" It's so much nicer than how we use it here in New England. When we use it up here it's usually when someone is saying something foolish or messed up. We will stretch out the yeah, we pause and then real quick say the no. Yeaaaaaah...No. what we're saying when we say it up here is, basically we're telling the other person they're wrong and they're (crazy or a jerk) for thinking they're right.
    Can't wait to watch the rest.

    Andy Bumatai,
    Subject: 'Yeah, no?'
    The Spanish phrase is 'que, no', which implies 'what, no?' Expressing 'do you agree, yes'. So your reasoning is correct, from my perspective. Then again, to quote 'The Daily Pidgin', 'no quote me, I may be wrong'.
    An aside: I met a native Hawaiian and he mentioned your show. I am most impressed with your persona, mahalo.
    It be it,
    Ronin Kannushi

    Jus like you, I neva hear "rat bite" for long time, but it cracked me up and wen remind me of small kid time wen parents would cut dea kids' hair or da kids try cut 'em themself. An' we always wen say, "Yeah, no?" for mean "It's true, isn't it?" or "Isn't that the truth." It might come from Japanese cuz you can put "no" at da end of one question, or for agreement in Hiroshima dialect instead of "ne." My auntie folks always used to say stuff like "So stupid, no?" or "You going come, no?"

  • @lesliekendall5668
    @lesliekendall5668 Před 4 lety +1

    Years ago, being a mainland haole girl, I met and married a local guy. He admitted years later that he kept a Thesaurus at work after meeting me and he was always having to repeat himself cuz I never could understand him. After seeing each other about 6 months, I was feeling bad cuz I wasn't catching any fish...couldn't figure out what bait to use or find a good spot, etc. Then he said to me, "Sawrite, bumbai you go-een". And I LIT UP and said, "Oh honey, I understood what you said!!"
    Another thing that would always make me laugh was when he'd end his sentence with 'wat you call em?'. If he would've said 'da kine', I would've accepted it but 'what you call em'??? I'd have to say, "I don't know honey, wat YOU callem?"

    @Pablo_Gardens Před 3 lety +1

    the "yeah no" feature reminds me of Chilensismo (Chilean Spanish) and there usage of "ya po" (or just "po"). it has a similar meaning. People say it to the end of words of phrases to emphasize the obviosity of a statement.
    For example, let's say there is a man at a table eating soup. Somebody then asks (in Spanish):
    "está comiendo sopa con una cuchara?"
    "Sí po!"
    I think it's a coincidence but a cool connection anyway

    "Yeah, no?" is said frequently in New Mexico, too, especially among Hispanics. Meaning is the same.

    Howzit Andy! I lived on the Big Island for like 3 years. I got to know the local folks pretty well. I have a question about the pidgen term "bon buy" . To me it meant , "later, or we will do it later, it will arrive later ect." But after thinking about it i came to the conclusion that it was a condensed version of ," buy n buy". a phrase meaing just about the same thing. So what? I wen theory em out? Love the show and miss Hawaii, Aloha!
