I grew up on the mainland living with my Tutus(who grew up in Honolulu). Listening to your show reminds me of them. Love your show, so funny! Mahalo, keep up the good work.

It's like "What you try'in?

[@JodyY808]

I was working at Musashiya at Ala Moana Center in college when I first learned only people in Hawai'i say "package" for the bag you put things you buy in. When I asked a tourist from the Mainland if she wanted a package, she was confused, and then told me I meant a "sack."

[@evalina98000]

😜

[@lucylai4910]

That's so so hilarious "package". I had no idea that only locals use that. Even "Make House" so funny. Actually everything in this show is so funny!

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+Lucy Lai Mahalo Lucy. It's fun to learn and laugh at the same time.

[@alfredpilialoha9415]

I heard "no make house" more growing up, but I neva make li dat.

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+Alfred Pilialoha Das good. Tanks eh.

[@thumbstruck]

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+Kory Tideman I didn't know that. Mahalo.

[@thumbstruck]

+Andy Bumatai , folks in da Hawaiian diaspora tend to maintain older expressions and music. Dey like maintain connection to small kid time.

[@MoonJarGirl1]

[@junektom]

I just discovered you on KZbin and I'm hooked. Have to watch a few clips every single day. I grew up in Kalihi and used the following phrases all the time: Make A, Bus Ass, Hotcha. Don't know if you already covered them. I'll continue to pray for you to be healed. God Bless You, you are special!

[@kulikuliurwaha103]

[@AndyBumataiShow]

[@hawaiian1964]

Give'um da business!!!

[@aga7040]

Andy, isn't 'as' short for 'das' which is pidgin for 'that's'?

[@bruceshiroma101]

Still remember at UH football games they used to put that big sweeping fist that went across the screen followed "geev um" after a big play.

[@ChrisSlack]

How I going study for one pop quiz?!?

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+Chris Slack Uh.. that would be the joke. Sorry, maybe a little to out there. Plus, announcing a "pop" quiz sort of defeats the purpose too. Ha!

[@ChrisSlack]

+Andy Bumatai I know, just joking on the joke.

[@aga7040]

Andy, I just thought of one. When I first moved to Oregon, I heard people use 'pop' to refer to what I grew up knowing as 'soda', as in a soft drink. Keep up the good work Andy! Al in Aloha, OR.

[@kulikuliurwaha103]

The old old timers used to call em soda water.

[@trizdizzle808]

I still use package too on the mainland and get funny kine looks lol!

[@laurenborremans5896]

I remember "package deal" meaning one invite means all 15 members of family..."pau already" meaning surf meet ovah, li dat

[@marygarceau7706]

Can you make a video of the Miranda Rights in Pidgin??

[@amberhigdon5679]

Mahalo Andy. Another great show! I hope you never run out of material. I look forward to watching everyday. I might have been born a Hoosier but I think my soul came from Hawaii.

[@quique7764]

I always assumed it was thas the one & not as the one, there.

[@badtuna73]

Eh, Andy. I still use those words here in Orange County..lol. My wife always say "Geev'em" all the time, but in a different context like when my adult kids like something. Geev'em da money, Geev'em da car or Geev'em da motorcycle. I said NOT da motorcycle. That's my pride and joy--geez! Anyway, keep the great work on the Daily Pidgin, bruddah!

[@kaimanaphillips7581]

Unko Andy, Im 16 and I grew up in Las Vegas so I'm not fully comprehensive when it comes to pidgin... so... The other day I came home from wrestling practice and my faddah said, "I was "keke" and needed to "bafe". What does that mean?? please touch up on it in your next video if can. Mahalo- Kaimana Phillips

[@AndyBumataiShow]
