Other Music and Clips (Not Alizée)

Just found this video and it got me real excited . It talks and explains a little bit about the Pidgin language. Not everyone knows this but it is a real language over here (Hawaii) and everyone uses it in on all islands. The lady is doing a comedy show so you can tell she's trying to speak it too hard but it still shows the slangs and stuff.

Interesting to know, but seriously I can't imagine myself speaking like that. I can understand more than half of what she's saying........only with hard concentration

I was born in Hawaii. I wasn't raised there, because we moved to the mainland. My mother grew up there and studied hard to not speak pidgin. A family reunion a couple years ago, I bought a Pidgin English book (7th edition dictionary). Loaned it to my mom and she was cracking up all giddy when she flipped through pages. It brought back a lot of memeories. Nice post Tical.

Thanks rcs, nice to know you're from here . But yea, pidgin is probably not the best language to speak outside of Hawaii. As you can see by my typing, I try to use perfect english, but it's hard sometimes since I never speak it

We need to try to get Alizee in Hawaii.* She's been to Vegas and New York.* Can't see why she wouldn't want to be a tourist in Hawaii.* Imagine her in a hula skirt or cocnut shell bikini top.* To die for...

If she came here I'd be so stoked. It would probably be my only chance of ever seeing her too.

HAHA! I grew up in Oahu & used to speak it alot in elementary and HS...then i moved to the States and lost it. A bunch of students in my HS even petitioned to make pidgin the 'offical' language... Some hawaiians only speak pidgin...

Pidgin is the BEST language. I'd teach it to you guys if I could
