Did any of you understand the sentence above? Well, if you grew up in Hawaii, you probably understand what it said. That is pidgin English. A lot of people in Hawaii speak like this, so if you have trouble understanding what people are saying, don't worry! Your English is not bad! They are speaking pidgin to you so you cannot understand.
Here is an example of pidgin English and "normal" English.
Pidgin: What you wen do last night during da game? I hope you wen suck um up good brah!
English: So what did you end up doing last night during the game? I really hope that you were able to drink a few beers my friend.
Stay tuned next time for another lesson in pidgin English. Shoots den cuz! Take it easy!
Whoa Yoshi that's insane English!! I can't understand it! haha
