Teach you Osaka dialect(大阪弁)① If you like Japanese , you could enjoy reading this article. But, if not, you should stop reading this until here. That might be terribly boring. I was born in Osaka. The prefecture is well-known as the funniest place in Japan because the region originally had contributed to develop many entertainments in the Azuchi-Momoyama and Edo periods both a several hundreds years back in the history. The comedy show of Osaka was one of those cultures in Osaka. By the way, apart from the history, people in Kansai, especially the people in Osaka, fundamentally say "Are you kidding me?(なんでやねん)" many times including in alomost everybody. Let's say, Kansai people are familiar with the word to frankly say with anyone なんでやねん instead of some Japanese. Maybe, I could replace なんでやねん with どうしてですか？. I am not suitably able to translate the word, because this word comes up many situation, which is very useful. なんでやねん is very casual, but funny, while どうしてですか is very formal. Next, we ordinarily use saying Are you sure?(ほんまかいな?) many times; I guess the word is be used as many as なんでやねん。 In comparison of accents, Osaka's is different from other Japanese such as Tokyo accent, which sounds comedic in Japanese. If you have any friend from Osaka, ask your friend about the dialect. Thank you for reading. You might get bored.I, now, miss conversation that talk with my friends in Osaka.
