Japan flagkaori
A funny mishearing My eldest daughter is 5 years old. She goes to the private kindergarten. English is a compulsory subject there. One day,she's watching an animation on youtube,and she told me ”nine ten day!!" I answered "No! that is wrong! You have to say 'nine ten dayS' right? " But,she got angry and said in Japanese. "No! That is not what I mean!! I said 'NAITENDEE'!!" I took a gander at the display, There is a character who is crying. At last.I found then She wanted to say "NAITENDEE"(泣いてんでぇ) =He(She) is crying. Because I 'm from eastern of Japan. We don't use such an expression like that. That is Osaka-dialect. If I say"He(She) is crying" is "NAITERUYO" They are very different. She must be learning two languages in her kindergarten:)
