Thank you for the Shaka story. My dad knew Mr. Kalili. Growing up, kolohe boys would tease his way of waving. Who knew it would become a huge part of Hawaii as we know it. Mahalo for the memories.

[@makahamic]

uncle Andy, the mainland translation to Dakine when used to describe emotions is "Some type of way." The phase comes from the hip-hop culture, and is starting to catch on. you the youth here in Hawaii. Mahalo for the Daily Pidgin. It is very inspiring to see someone what they love and not listening to the doubters.

[@AndyBumataiShow]

This isn't Hawaiian. It's Pidgin.

[@thepunadude]

again, how the word come? ok, forget hawaiian.

[@seelevel1767]

These are hilarious

[@TimFromLA]

When you put on the Close Captioning, the translation is totally haole.

[@azbugman1]

Hamana Kalili must have had his car stolen a lot cuz he has the palm facing out while making the Shaka.

[@keanukea-kamehameha3812]

+RyleeandMaile Inayoshi Mahalo for watching and helping spread da word.

[@OEFarredondo]

He sure knows how to trick a trick question ahaha

[@killahk5335]

Nanakuli is Crown Lands.

[@ChrisSlack]

You've got one sociopath viewer who can't help hit the dislike button. Makes them feel better about their shitty life?

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+Chris Slack Mahalo for the support. Yeah, I had block one guy already. What amazes me is, why would keep coming back if they don't like it. Haters have a pathetic mindset. Kinda sad actually.

[@GothKaida]

Da kine is anything but itself lol

[@gagongflip389]

Man being in the military and always working with white people and black people, I can't even talk pidgin anymore. I still use Da kine at work and that confuse the crap out of them. lol.....I only been home probably 3 times in 5 years.

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+gagongflip389 Mahalo Brah. You can practice wit us guys. K-den.

[@thomasalton9940]

Hey bra no mention of da Shaka sign and its popularity should leave out Lippy Espinda.

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+Thomas Alton I thought about that but then Iʻd have to take time to explain who he was. I like to keep the vids bite sized. Youʻre right though.

[@jt.tccccc]

Heyyy shocker everyone shockerrr 🤙🤙🤙 😂

[@hanalei412002]

Nānākuli Eā! chee...no Nānākuli mai au! I was in hawaiian lang. and I heard an aunty talking to someone from Kaupo, He was saying Maui no ka oe! She asked him in Hawaiian where you from? he said Kaupo! with a play on words she said back to him Kaupo hupo lol, meaning the people from Kaupo are stupid (joking). Then she was from Molokaʻi, so she said to him: Molokaʻi pule oʻo! The prayers from Molokaʻi are powerful. Are kupuna was too ʻakamai!
