False Crack in Hawaiian Pidgin and Wai‘anae | The Daily Pidgin with Andy Bumatai

[@CCJJ160Channels]

Your haole voice had me crying 😂

[@tinatorres8291]

"False crack, medivac..." Omg! If you were doing this live, that would be a moment for you to pause let the audience regain composure. I had to rewind to hear what you said after that line cuz I could not stop laughing.

[@islandgirl33]

So funny! One time my friend wen visit me in wen I was living in Las Vegas. I had been on the mainland for several years and worked in an office at the university. He called me and so I answered in my business voice. He tells me, "Why you talk haole?" I had to laugh because lots of people say I have an "accent' which is my pidgin accent. I mix it up wen I talk to my haole husband and my hapa kids. But I gotta agree... talking pidgin is like a homing pigeon because as soon as you get together with another local, it just comes out.

[@amybee40]

Lol, my ex from Boston always reverted to his heavy Boston accent when he went home to visit friends.

[@joslynmcgriff77]

Joy Hansen that’s for real. No good my husband was listening to me talk to my niece/ god sistah on da phone back home. When I got off the phone he asked what is the language u was speaking on the phone. Because that’s not how u talk when your on the phone at work. I told him it’s pidgin

[@sandrachase68]

When I was living in the mainland my husband knew everytime I had been talking story on the phone with my brother because I would be talking pigeon.

Pidgin

[@dakinerhymes9625]

I could listen to you all day brudda. Story for you. My wife lived Kona side as a local haoli back in the 70's. She and her first husband were looking to get a dog. They saw an ad in the paper that I am pretty sure was written by a native Hawaiian. It read, "dog for sale. Da kine grow big". Cheers from the so-called mainland and mahalo for your entertaining videos

[@namastezen3300]

Very helpful, thank you for explaining the nuances of pidgin so carefully; the "dial up" demonstration was priceless. As the world changes, your insights have more and more value. Thank you for your efforts. Aloha

[@jodiphillips2186]

had me laughing at the mahu crack. HA! You bring me to tears...happy tears

[@LeiMomiToo]

Loved the definition of False Crack, particularly what it DIDN'T mean... LOL Thanks for all of the effort and time you put in to these, Andy.

[@patrickspeer2990]

Dis one funny braddah. I love hearing you, I used to live in Kailua, Kaneohe, and Manoa and worked on the Marine Corps Base in Kaneohe, miss the place and culture, the most beautiful place. Thanks, and that as a Haole is how I was saying Wai'anae, everybody look at me like, look at dis Haole trying to speak Hawaiian. I was saying it right...

[@bananashaveice]

Hilarious! You just took me back to my hanabata days growing up in Wai'anae! Mahalo for the laughs and for the little history about Wai'anae. Aloha from California!

[@mysandell]

Thanks for discussing the okina! It reminded me of when I was creating content for a boss not long ago, and it contained the word Hawai'i. He was quite concerned about the okina between the two "i"s and he wanted me to take it out. I refused, and tried to explain that the mark - as I understood it from visiting the Big Island several times - was an important pronunciation marker. He, never having been to Hawai'i, disagreed and he googled the word, saw on the top 10 hits didn't have the okina and that constituted proof for him that it was unimportant.

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+mysandell ...and there in lay the problem. The ‘okina is considered a letter unlike the apostrophe.

[@dakinerhymes9625]

I am peeing on myself laughing at the last minute of this! I subscribble right away. Mahalo.

[@Whabligone]

love the words "false crack" and "subscribble", started using it all over. For the English ear it sound cool and funny and it hit home just right.

[@SusanKeiserRealtor]

So happy to see you on KZbin after all these years. Love u bunches. Yes I’m a haole but understand da pidgin! Lol ❤️

[@ChrisSlack]

Funny, I've been talking pidgin to my dogs this past week! Works! They no care what I say, as long as get food!

[@auntiedoni]

[@ltadokoro]

Ay brada Andy, long time ago I used to go to one hospital chain in California. I had one doctor was from Hawaii. I tried to use pidgin to him but he looked at as if I was lolo kine, I am but beside da point. I know my pidgin not good cuz I never usem long time, I wen learned dem from my brada from Kahuku side when I was going school in Japan. Wen I first met him I could'nt understand very well. Afta while I wen learn them pretty good. Mahalo for all da great laughs! Aloha shaka bra!

[@sachamike6093]

Making me homesick one vid at a time Andy! The hubby and kids give me grief if I lapse into Pidgin.

[@HwnDragon1]

[@puppet003]

[@MrRick808]

I slow Andy...only now I catch the false crack mahu joke. I saw this video long time ago. Couple years later I watched it again and wow laulau

[@ratgasgarage]

Wen I miss home, I always take in sum pidgin action, den I feel good again, tanks eh braddah andy

[@alohahonu8537]

Howzit Braddah Andy! Just wanted to say Mahalo Nui Lua for your wonderful shows. They bring back fond memories, yes FOND memories, of my hana baddah days growing up in Waianae. So glad to see that someone from Waianae made it out safe and became as successful as you did. Right on! I am just happy I made it out alive hahaha Nah, jus' joking. Malama Pono and Aloha Nui Loa.

[@willmcguire5099]

loved the dials - dial it up brah...too funny

[@noradennis4361]

I don't know if my animals would understand me if I suddenly started talking pidgin to them. Probably look at me like I lost my mind or something. LOL I like how you break down the place names and let us know what they mean. I never knew. Mahalo for another great lesson.

[@alfredpilialoha9415]

You're right...your pidgin will always come back, and good reference to the homing pidgin. Da pidgin going always bring you home. Wen I come home and hear my family talk, I jump right in no shame...I let the pidgin fly. Good too yea that da family no try or no need talk haole to you. I found that pidgin from small kid time basically still da same, but also wen notice one difference in some new words like "cheeho". Growing up Neva hear dat one. Try do one skit about this. Is there a new pidgin from our kids? .

[@johnruggles5112]

Grew up in Wai' anai Makaha area many years ago. Miss my area and feel like I can relax once I hit the water. Lived in Cabanas Turtle beach. I can relate I never loose my pidgeon as soon as I get back. Seems kind of funny from a white boy. I grew up with a step father that was Hawaiian.

[@bigislander72]

Haole boy growing up Wai'anai? Damn... Was it rough o wat?

[@markrodrigues715]

Look like you having fun wit dis! haha Right on, brah!

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+Mark Rodrigues Very much so. ...and very touched by the support of the viewers. Mahalo Mark.

[@tinatorres8291]

Andy, to prove you not faking the view numbers to You Tube, consider asking your viewers to type VIEWED in the comments for each time they watch yo videos. We know you 4 real funny. I rewatch your vids just cuz you get me busting out laughing so much! you so funny, this station got me watching your older stuff too. Omg...All in the Ohana...lmao! I bet the viewers willing help you however you need.

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+Tina Torres KZbin has ways to tell if the views are real and they are slowly releasing the views. You can't blame them.

[@cigarobsession]

+Andy Bumatai - Toolin' Around The stats delay doesn't have anything to do with you in particular, it's happening to thousands the last few days including my channels. It happens periodically, and lately things have been messed up since they rolled out Red.

[@marceldiehlatm]

Lovin it as usual, you should be the new SIRI for da hawaii folks

[@jokerman213]

Uncle Andy.No worries about da count. It is a system failure on most channels lately.

[@thomasraymond4909]

I love the turn it up that was great. You know one world champion Dino Miranda e’ my cuz give him one shout out.

[@artistamisto]

Funny how you got False Crack and Waianae in the same segment. I call that hoʻohenehene! First time I heard the word False Crack was back in the 70s. Ex classmate was telling bulai about why I left Catholic school for public. He said because I got false cracked. When I heard that I was like say what? Nobody hit me from the blind side at that school. I left because of the nuns was getting outta hand. And they no false crack, they hit you when you looking! The yardstick was the weapon of choice and my hand was the target! a hui hou nō sister mary elephant!

[@Purrowler]

not sure I could ever use pidgin truthfully, the way natives do ;), but I do love hearing it ;).

[@vincentshaw8442]

eh uncle Andy I tell you. I stay listen to da pidgin and Shoots stay coming back!

[@missykaleohano9891]

So enjoy this Pidgin series.....the ‘okina is important as evidenced by this beautiful spot near my childhood home in Pi‘ihonua (aka Pianua) Pe‘epe‘e Falls....yes folks it was called it Pee Pee falls....aack!

[@taxdragon]

Loved it. Just a little reminder. Standard English is not better English than other dialects.

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+taxdragon Good point. Mahalo.

[@pdlynch4330]

Fantastic!!

[@SusanKeiserRealtor]

Hey Bruddah Andy, would love a video of you reviewing the classic "Pidgin to da Max" book and how Pidgin-English has changed (or hasn't) in the 34 since it was published! Pidgin translation: "Hey Bruddah Andy, try go review da kine "Pidgin to da Max" fo see how da pidgin went change since da hanabata days. Shoots!

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+vaporfiend I don't know if I would see any difference. My Pidgin is from 50 years ago. Hah!

[@chicofolasa4843]

[@auntiebobbolink]

Great to "see" you again, Wanda. I always remember you saying when you first got into Hawaiian music, "Those people sure like their flowers." 😄🤙

[@cwm9686]

Can you explain the mahu thing? I don't get it. I thought mahu was a word for someone who is in the LGBTQ community. Why would you think a sucker-punch would be anything like a gay person? (Did you mean because people who are gay get sucker punched?)

[@glenpang5025]

lol. Eh Andy, you still get um. No, actually you always had um. Make people crack up. Eva since All in Da Ohana classic.
