146 NC:119 We so young, those days, eh. You know Chinese they call ’em either Ah Sook or Ah Pak. As
long as we know, we meet them, “Good morning,” or “Good evening,” at that time. We don’t know their names. Of course a few of them we know, but must be real familiar or if the family, before we know.
Other than that, we don’t know.
NC:145 Yeah, I have. I work and get some money but I don’t generally take all. I always give to my mother, eh. And what I need, like we go school, lunch like that, That’s the only thing we take. Other
than that we don’t take the money. To us money is useless those days. NC:149 That’s worse. Right now he just better learn how to cook his own breakfast. Other than
that he’s waste time. They all bookworms. Dai Ho and Ah Kong. All honor roll students though. From high school to university. The two of them. One-two. One-two. Every time. First-second. First-second.
NC:150 Not in the field. For scare birds like that, they’d go. Other than that I don’t think so. They
don’t plant rice. But clearly, ada daen functions more as a clausal adjunct than as a determiner.
5.20.4 Examples of eos
5.20.4.1 SOMEONE eos There are numerous examples of eos in combination with SOMEONE:
AK:638 Yeah. They live here and there, in the valley. And some works at Akioka’s, the poi shop.
Some of them work for somebody else.
FD:277 The property was made on me. But I didn’t want to fight for property. So that’s why, Samuel get one other brother in Honolulu, eh? That’s Dukie’s daddy. Dukie Mock Chew. They are taro
farmer too. So his daddy, I told him to go find out for the property. If I wanted to, if I was greedy, I would have all the property. So I just tell them go look before somebody get in, and they can claim. If
you don’t keep up with the tax, somebody else can have the place. Because that place belongs to me. But I didn’t want to make trouble, so I’m just like their big sister because my grandma married to their
daddy.
GF:314 By the bags. You know, those days, taro was cheap; 50 cents a bag. And some people, they buy for 35 cents a bag but my father-in-law paid me pretty good; 50 cents a bag. Then every year come
up, little by little; and I used to sell him the taro. Until he had too much of his own, he cannot take from me. Then I sell ’em to somebody else.
GF:329 That’s all Mock Chew’s pond. The whole section there. I don’t know how many acres. Maybe about 50, 60 acres. Mullet pond. He has his own pond. Catch his own fish. And Kawashima used
to take care for him. And before that, he used to take care the pond. Then when he expanded, well, he cannot take care of the pond. He let somebody else take care the pond. Kawashima take care the pond.
JL:12 Den, I work as a cowboy all my life. My fadda was head foreman. Den I work under my
faddah. Cowboy. All – till my faddah pass away. Somebody else took ovah da place. Den I move down heah from Makalahao.
KH:132 Den he go kill somebody else. MT:1190 If I don’t supply him, because of sickness or something, we have everything black and
white. The lawyers draw all the papers up and all. If I sell the taro to somebody else, he can sue me. And if I supposed to supply him 50, 60 bags; it’s a contract for 40 bags, and if I want to supply him 80
bags, he has to take it. But not anything below 40. So I have a good contract. Vice versa, we can pull suits against each other if we want to, if we don’t abide by the contract.
NK:940 Yeah. Uh huh. They most down the beach. They live down there all the time because they no more coffee land ma uka. Only they go ma uka when the people need them pick coffee. They go up,
pick coffee for somebody else like that. Only people who have their own coffee land, they stay ma uka. And then, when they like go fishing, they go ma kai. Down the beach. Us, we have place down the
beach, so we stay down the beach.
147 OC:6 The husband told him that I was very friendly, sort of like the family, so no use to somebody
else but nobody would buy because I had long lease.
OC:9 I know the newspaper and I know the value of that land they get there, the big building – the Advertiser. When come to business, good – better; they sold that – I think their stock went up to
seventeen, eighteen dollars and all my friends sold it to somebody else. They didn’t tell me, see, but I told them before, “If you want to sell, tell me so I can get the money. I know how to go and borrow
money from the bank.”
SU:1573 So, when working people go to work, have to make bento, eh? Six o’clock in the morning.
You have to, because everything be ready. If you don’t put the time inside yourself and hire somebody else, you not going to make money. You’re not going to make money. So they get through about two
o’clock, come home. Next morning, go back again. So, they rest Sunday and Monday. And then, when they take vacation, they take vacation about one month. I don’t blame them. You know, go early in the
morning. Usually two o’clock, but that’s tiresome, every day, every day, every day.
WK:710 They had couple. But they cannot last long. Somebody else overpower them. YA:1028 I don’t know. He said he too old. He no like work already. He figure, ’nough already. Now
all the big boy, they working. You know, go out and find job, and working for somebody else. So, he no like go work. That time, he was old already, you know. Maybe eighty or seventy-five, somewhere around
like that. Kinda old, eh? He working hard, you know. Day and night, he work. And he brought up all da kine children, so many. He must be satisfied more than enough.
