(In the following blog, I will list some words and phrases commonly heard in Hawaiian Pidgin creole. I will attempt to label them accurately, as well as define them as best I can. If you want to comment, please do one of the following:

1) Comment on whatever you please, as long as it is in full Pidgin.
2) Add to the words already put down or dispute the definitions.
3) Add helpful information to those who probably won't get it.

That being said, let the fun begin!")

Taringa whakarongo! Kia rite, kia rite... A kia mau!

Ringaringa pakia,
Waewae takahia kia kino ne haki!

Ka mate, mate ka ora
Ka mate, mate ka ora

A tenei te tangata, puhuruhuru,
Nana nei tiki mai whaka whiti te ra
A hupane! Ka-upane!
A upane kaupane whiti te ra!
