What is the difference between Hawaiian and Pidgin?
Hawaiian is a Polynesian language (the indigenous language of Hawaii). Hawaiian Pidgin (Hawaii Creole English) is a separate language that developed as a mix of Hawaiian, English, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino. Many Pidgin words are borrowed from Hawaiian.
Is it polite to use Pidgin as a tourist?
While locals appreciate it when you learn the meanings, try not to "force" the accent. It's better to use common words like "Mahalo," "Aloha," and "Howzit" naturally rather than trying to speak full Pidgin if you aren't from here. Understanding it is half the battle!
