A little background of pidgin- Pidgin started in old hawaii on the plantations where people from all over came to Hawaii to work on these plantations. People from all over such as the Japanese, Portuguese, Filipinos, etc. worked on these plantations and all of them didn't speak a common language so they created Pidgin which help them communicate with one another.

These are just a handful of words that are apart of pidgin and can be heard everyday when talking to someone in the islands. Most of the words used in the language are some english but are just shortened and said differently to come out faster and straight to the point.

Many words and sayings in pidgin are used multiple times for many different situations and feelings. Words like “brah” and “bummahs” can be used in different situations and can mean different things. Also this can be true for “Aloha” and “Mahalo”.

This is a video making fun of chant as all the words are pidgin instead of actual Hawaiian. This was created by an old comedy by the name of rap reiplinger who used pidgin and stereotypes to make comedies in the 70s in Hawaii. This “chant” kind of explains a little about daily life and Hawaiian life in the day
