When your local wife laughs at your attempts at speaking pidgin in the privacy of your home, this is not a go-ahead to do it in public in Hawaii EVER, especially in front of some big scary-looking dude.
Exception: if she asks you to say something in front of your friends (for entertainment only), it’s okay.
My husband can actually do a pretty good “Eh, what?” but I guess that’s pretty rudimentary.
