Revision as of 15:57, 10 September 2010
The transitive verb to Hawaiianize means to take a physical product, concept hitherto unrelated to Hawaiian culture, and confer a Hawaiian quality upon it through various means. The word is a neologism which, though increasing in use, is currently unofficial. It is most commonly used in matters of etymology and nomenclature[1][2]. It is also used to indicate the adding of Hawaiian instrumentation and/or language to a non-Hawaiian song; the adding of Hawaiian themes such as palm trees, tropical flowers, rainbows, dolphins, whales, sea turtles, volcanic lava flows, etc. to textiles and artifacts: the adding of papaya, mango and/or guava flavors to drinks and edibles; the adding of Hawaiian tropical flower fragrances such as ginger, plumeria, gardenia and tuberose to lotions and beauty products; the use of Hawaiian ideas in gardening[3]. The word has started entering forms of popular culture[4], and is frequently used as an adjective in its gerundive form, "Hawaiianized". The word describes a process akin to Anglicisation, whereby words, products, and concepts become Hawaiian in form and character.
