If something was a total failure, say it was a bus’ egg. If mama’s teriyaki chicken is really good, tell her it broke da mouth. If a teenager wants to go out for a burger he’ll say You like grind? You meet another local on the street, you say, Howzit? It borrows from Hawaiian and Japanese and Chinese and from the two main Filipino dialects, not to mention some delightful twists given to recognizable English words. Some use it most of the time, others whenever the mood strikes, but it’s colorful and highly descriptive … and a great deal of fun.
Visitors to Hawaii are immediately aware of the incredible natural beauty of these islands and that awareness is enhanced the more they travel around this place.īut to me, one of the really interesting and more enjoyable things about Hawaii is the pidgin English that locals use when speaking informally among themselves.
