The bigest mistake Hawaiians use is they use the word "for" when they mean "to". People are always saying " We go for eat." instead of We are going out to eat." Or they double up like. The kind is more better. (means the thing a ma jig is alot better than that one.) Alot of Hawaiians can speak correct english if they want to it is just slang and a habbit, but others who grew up only hearing pigin have to work hard to speak correctly. Sort of like Ebonics.
But an example would be the call I got this week from my brother inlaw.
Larry there? I need for talk later. What time is 4 or three , before or after?
He means, Is Larry home. I will call back later. Is the time differnce 3 or 4 hours and is it earlier or later there?
