Yeah, i live in Maui. I don't speak like that. But a lot of people speak like that. I guess they are too lazy to pronounce stuff the right way, e.i: three- (pronounciation) tree. hey- aye.
helllooo, i don't know what part of the island you from but she is a tita to da max. you obviously neva grow up dea. di is the real local style story telling !!! give it a rest !!
Jamaican is different. THey definitely don't have the intonations that we have which comes from Portg, not to mention not all of the consonants in Jamaican English echoes ours at all.
To me, only people who sounds like they're exaggerating are from Oahu. This girl, to me just sounds like a tita.
People from Oahu don't exagerate. Only people from the mainland who like act local exagerate. Oahu is the same as Maui, Maui is the same as the Big Island, and the Big Island is the same as Kauai. Only the stupid people that com from the mainland [not all, but a lot] think they're so good and build on Oahu. That's the only difference, oahu is being taken over by the mainland. Cannot help.
Lenchanko...I'm referring to PIDGIN. Oahu has always been heavily influenced by outsiders and the constant influx made their pidgin very unstable, unlike the outer islands where you have more isolation, less influence, therefore more purer form of the creole lang. But making comparisons of the other islands to one another only reinforces the ignorance that na moku a Kakuhihewa has. They are so oahucentric, it really can be detrimental to others throughout the islands.
Hey how bout learning hawaiian?...U're real language..hahaha...Im such a funny tama...No can help since outsiders influence hawaii too much...U're right though about Oahu..Cause its the main island and its where Honolulu is and where theres most people...But true that this girl is exaggerating it..it sounds annoying..I can speak pidgin perfect...I choose not to tho..Only to pidgin speakers of course..Im samoan so I speak samoan also..Know a lil bit hawaiian..
I know you were talking about pidgin. Why does the other islands take offense to us on oahu just because we're so populated? Everyone from the other islands always think that we're exaggerating our pidgin. I think it's rude. Even my cousins from Kauai and Maui think it's rude what the other islands say about us. Maui is getting populated, too. What? Then you guys just going to say the same thing about them, yeah? "They're exagerating their pidgin cause mainland stay taking over them."
I already explained, b/c of the constant influx of people, the creole on oahu changes & consistently. Unlike the other islands where it's more isolated, less inundated by outsiders, the creole there remains the same, almost untouched. (cont)
Even people from the city will notice these differences. Regardless of what ur cousins from Kauai & Maui think, those r the facts that due to these changes, the creole that we all speak aren't the same.
And try not to read into these. Oahu is populated, yes. So is Maui. You do realize what these do to the people & lifestyle, right?
Also, you say that it was rude, but I wasn't meaning to be rude but pointing out that Oahuans are very oahucentric & everything evolves around them. I'm sure you'll understand this in a couple of more decades. And to me, what is rude is you commenting about mainlanders being "stupid". In reality, they're no different than you, being clueless about the surroundings, and that's ur situation unfortunately.
I have to agree with you on one thing. Not everyone on the mainland is stupid. However, most people I've met from the mainland are rude, especially when they come to Hawai'i.
But, they don't influence us. Not as much as you would think. I'd say, maybe if you lived in Waikiki, or certain parts of the island, you would be. But there's places like the west and the north side of the island that don't exaggerate their pidgin. I just think it's rude how everyone downs Oahu because of the tourist.
I can understand visitors can be ignorant, b/c many of them are. But from what I've observed (only), the ones that move to Hawaii permanently are the rude ones b/c they're already accustomed to certain ways and living in the islands is so diff. compared to what they were used to, that they make these demands which is why they are rude. They want changes to accomodate them. And yes, any place away from the metropolis like Waianae side, the north side preserve their traditional speech.
But just as the other islands aren't represented in the media, the north & western side of the island don't much air play. If the north is in the media, it's due to surfing. But how many true locals do they showcase? Not a whole lot. So in turn they showcase only those of the city & we get to hear their speech. Some have been in Honolulu for generations compared to those outside there, which is why we've always said "going to Honolulu" for the outer island people vs. "Oahu".
I see what you're saying, they don't very often. But I thought you were replying to people on Oahu in general. But you know, there's people like Augie T and Frank Delima that get showed, and I hardly think they're very influenced by the mainland. I did wonder why my cousins always said "We're coming to Honolulu," but I figured it was just because that was the capital.
I know I grew up with the term - HONOLULU. I don't remember if my cousins on Oahu always used that term too, I thought they did or maybe now people change. But I met a person from Hilo & a guy from Kauai both at work, they said the same thing - Honolulu. None of them said Oahu.
I thought Augie T was from Lanai? Frank...well, he's Portagee, don't know where he grew up, only know that he was my cousin's classmate, but my cousin wasn't raised on Oahu.
Nope, Augie T was born in Kalihi and raised in waianae. Right now, he lived in Ewa Beach, which is still on the west side near Kapolei. Frank Delima is Hawaiian, too--he get plenty heritage--and he's from Oahu, not sure where on the island though.
dude it definitely doesnt sound jamaican..Jamaican always uses "mon" for man..Like "Yea mon"..they never use "da kine" like pidgin always does or replacing "to" with "for" or replacing "is" with "stay"..Pidgin also puts "wen (went)" to show past tense..Ex: He cried is "He wen cry" and "neva" for past tense like "He neva like dat drink" means "He never wanted that drink"..Pidgin always uses "like" a lot..Ex: "you like try dat?" could mean " do you want to try it?"
I'm not saying EVERYONE talks like that, just a lot of people talk like that.
