Very interesting & beautiful accent. I never get tired of hearing about Hawaiian Puerto Ricans. It's a rich & complicated history. I am so interested in it. Your Grandma is really cute & she's obviously a treasure. Dude, take good care of her & treasure her because Grandmas are very delicate & need care. When we lost ours our family unfortunately disintergrated, Take care, God bless her & your family.
WOW THATS WASSUP IM PEURTO RICAN AND FROM LA I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF SUCH A BRINGING TOGETHER OF PEOPLE .LIKE MY TONGAN BOY TOLD ME "WE ALL ISLAND"
@wtfcowbb Gods loves you and God bless you in Jesus name brodee. and i just so you know i happen to have had a brodee from Tongan Crip n as soon as we met i told em i was rican n he said oh okay you different than mexicans cuz we both island .
So funny. People not from Hawaii can't understand 1/2 of this. Us locals - absolutely easy and clear! Love it. The house looks typical Hawaii decor, too. (sigh - now I'm homesick....)
haha, sounds like my grannies house in Wainaku Filipino Camp lai dat ah. Her parents came from Puerto Rico back in da day fo work da plantations ah. My granfada came from P.I. His frens tell us dat he da firs wan fo jump da fence an marry outside ah. as wai ai get choken nationalities lai dat. chru story brah. haha
I stay miss hawaii soooo much. My hannabutta days wen stay makaha den waianae den move to kalihi den kalihi valley. I wen go military and retire in florida. Now I stay so haolefied. Cuz you talk pidgon hea, dey stay "Pardon Me?" HaHa!!
Just love it, to hear pidgin on my pc. Been living in Germany for the last 30 years now and been a few times home. I pick up that pidgin quick when I'm home, once again thanks for the video,mahalo and hang loosse!!!!!!!!!!!
man it's been so long since i've heard people speak this way. my grandparents spoke like this; it's so refreshing to hear pidgin spoken naturally. it's annoying to hear people who try too hard to speak pidgin like you hear in movies or on tv. thank you for sharing this!
To anyone reading, I need some help from fluent speakers in Hawaiian pidgin. I’m writing a story for a class and part of the story takes place in Hawaii so I need help with translating what I write into pidgin. If anyone wants to help me out with that I’d REALLY REALLY appreciate it. Please contact me and let me know if you can help, my story is being held up because of this. I could just write it in plain ordinary English but I would still like the option. Thanks so much!!!
I love pidgin. I hope it's around forever. I have friends in HI and it's nice to come to youtube to hear pidgin when I'm way over here in Canada. It's like sitting w/the friends there. They don't feel so far away when I get to see your family speaking pidgin.
@musicalala I understand how you feel. When I was in the Navy, it was nice to hang out with people from Hawaii. We spoke a lot of pidgin in Great Lakes, Illinois and it made me feel better. Check out "Da Braddah's", Frank Dilema and Rap Replinger on Youtube. Most of them are funny.
Will chk em out.Thanks. Funny that some Islanders avoid speaking it. One guy I know said it makes you sound uneducated and such but I wouldn't think someone is less intelligent bcuz they speak pidgin. Pidgin in a small way makes the world interesting. Makes people less cookie-cutter so to speak.
ha ha, I'm from Big Island and it sounds like the women in my family. It's the best to hear the language you were raised with, I've met people who don't even think of this as resembling a language, but they need to hear your grandma before they say that again.
Its so funny how i ran into this video. Everything you describe in the description is exactly like how my grandma && family is. My grandma is also full puerto rican and from big island. && have family who used to work in the sugar cane. I also have family in Kohala =] WOW this is a trip. i not the only one with this kine history =D
I am local to Hawaii, and I do not speak pidgin (I think it's because I have lots of white friends and lived in Kailua all my life). In fact, I hate it when people speak pidgin it's annoying, but this video is just too cute so I actually don't mind the pidgin in this video. This is a perfect example for foreigners to witness how the people of Hawaii speak.
My family still talks pidgin even though we have livied in Las Vegas for more than ten years...it comes so natural when I talk to people from Hawaii. my husband thinks its cute
This one terrific example for people in the mainland to hear what local people really sound like. Our accent over here is not something easily described.
