Pidgin to Da Max (English Edition)
価格: ¥0
The popular local Hawaii book classic and favorite pidgin dictionary is now available as an eBook. After its first publication 35 years ago, the witty Pidgin definitions and descriptions, combined with humorous illustrations still widely entertain locals and island visitors.
With the definitions of most of the words and phrases given in Pidgin, the book is intended to be a humorous introspective for Hawaii's locals about the language they speak on a day-to-day basis.
"Pidgin To Da Max" is an amusingly cartoon illustrated dictionary of Pidgin English. The book has been referenced as the "one" Hawaii book "every" local must own.
As an example of an entry for which the dictionary may be of little help to those unfamiliar with Pidgin, consider the definition of the word da kine:
DA KINE (da KINE) Da kine is the keystone of pidgin. You can use it anywhere, anytime, anyhow. Very convenient. What would we do without DA KINE? "Ey, I no can da kine if you no like da kine, too!"
