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:)
Search from various English teachers...
