大好きな、りおなちゃんを日本語学習の題材にするとは、目の付け所がすごい。

[@kankanueyama1005]

I am native Japanese speaker and I hear “bapa” instead of “papa.” She is so cute speaking in Osaka accents and her way of making emotional sound additions to the end of sentences such as “saaa!” is very creative; she poses, breath in, and say, with her full strength, “saaa!” to show her grumpy feeling.

[@japanesefromzero]

[@shiro_kuma3817]

Interesting point, but actually she actually says "パパPapa", which might have sounded close to "Bapa" however it might just be the way she emphasizes when she speaks. Also saying "さー/Saa" is a common word to use when a person is complaining about something or someone. She is very expressive and very eloquent!

[@Amanda-ms3ph]

Riona-chan's dialect is probably the East Ehime dialect, known as the "Toyo dialect," which is one of the Iyo (old name of Ehime) dialects. Dialects in Ehime are very complex and their categorization is somewhat controversial, but the Toyo dialect is definitely the closest to the Kansai dialect among them. Ehime is located in the western part of Shikoku Island, which is quite far from the Kansai region. Therefore, it has many different aspects from the Kansai dialect spoken in Osaka, but it is still considered to be in line with the Kansai dialect and is linguistically categorized as one of Keihan(=Kansai)-Accent dialects.

That's what I found 変わる（かわる） When the state of things changes from what it was before. 代わる（かわる） When something takes the place of something else, such as a position or role. 替わる（かわる） When something is replaced and becomes something else. 換わる（かわる） When something is replaced by something else.

Rio-chan and her family lives in Shikoku, not Osaka or Kansai. People in Shikoku have their own dialects and accents but they sound a lot like Kansai-ben. If you’re not from the area, you probably can’t tell the difference.

[@kingofaikido]

Thanks. I found it funny when you said 'like' and then discussed a term that means 'like,' as in "like...ya know..like..." Without realizing you were using the construction in English at the same time... By the way, it's true about 'bacon.' Sausages in general, unless you go organic, contain the worst preservatives, known to cause cancer, particularly pancreatic cancer. My dad died of it the other day. It always seemed strange to me why he'd chose sausages over the sushi my mom made because sausages taste real gross to my hafu taste buds. But he'd hog that stuff every day if he could help it. It really made for a dull cuisine when Mom was a genius chef. I guess bacon, etc, reminded him of his Mom...and so it goes... I enjoyed this analysis enough to want to watch more. I wonder if you can do some videos on adjectives like 'jimi', 'egui', etc. Why do people smirk when we use them? Also a good video would be on the differences between internal and external words like otoosan and chichi. I just learned the word 'sobo' for instance when I should have realized there had to be an outward facing obaachan as well. P.s. Could you also do videos on abusive words? But also abusive words in the family? My mum never called me by my given name but kept firing off similar names and diminutives when she was pissed off...like...nani-nani-'suke'..!! Naninani-'taro'..! Narcissm must be a thing in Japan too but how do we recognize it..? Oh and one more thing... Do you think you could do something on the meanings of 'silence'..? It creeps me out but my mom was-is more often than not silent and not in a good way...she could be silent for almost the entire week I go to visit. What the hell is going on there..? And I can't seem to communicate anything about communication with her, such as the things you're discussing here. She just starts screaming. Oh, and is it ever-always-sometimes wrong to address my mother as 'anata'..? Or do I always have to use 'okaasan'..? Or 'kaasan'..? Is there any way I can level with her, be equal, or do I always have to play the subordinate idiot.??

[@japanesefromzero]

You have a ton of ideas! I’ll add some to my idea board. You’re a regular アイディアすけ. Seems like your mother has a slight anger issue. The silence thing is the worst…. I’ve experienced it and it always means I’ve really messed up. I have good news though! I’m no longer eating bacon. Sorry to hear about your dad though. Is your mom still around?

[@kingofaikido]

@@japanesefromzero Gracias por su comentario. Ok, great, I'm an 'idea-suke'..! Yip, she's still around but showing signs of dementia. Never calls me, so I've got to the point of not bothering to call in on her. My sister's family have moved in to take care of her. I'll field more ideas to you when they come to me. There's a lot of unprocessed stuff I need to get a handle on. Arguably, the Japanese language-culture is the test case for intercultural (mis)understanding. I went to uni and did East-West philosophy to try to understand my family better..! I should have taken courses in Nihongo though, I guess, although the emphasis seemed mostly on the language and not on cultural differences, so I opted against it but I'm much keener now. The thing is direct translation doesn't reveal the innards...the hierarchy of values, ideas, protocols of speaking, the whole Confucian substrate, complicated by new religious ideas post-WWII, like Sokkagakai and Seichounoie, etc, which seem amalgams, compromises, hybrids with Western psychology and old Western psychology to boot, bordering on magical thinking, inclusive of ancestor worship. Oh boy, there's just so much that's puzzled me, but understanding doesn't necessarily bring empathy either, given how low we in the West think of magical thinking, then again there's Studio Ghibli which seems a plus. Thus, pluses and minuses can be flipped daily for people like us trying to understand where we stand..! The not-knowing drives me up the wall sometimes and other times turns me into a Zen monk. Glad to hear you're no longer eating bacon. P.s. This little boy-girl in your video sounds very wise..? Reincarnation of a monk-nun..? If you know of any book titles that go into the cultural differences beyond 'hold your chopsticks like this' category, then please let me know. I'll read them all..!!

[@a.kataoka2917]

I think the dialect she's speaking is likely to be from northern Shikoku (Kagawa, Tokushima, or Ehime) or Sang-yo (Hiroshima or Okayana). Their dialect may sound similar to Kansai ones especially from Kanto people's view, but they're actually quite different.

[@a.kataoka2917]

18:01 Assuming that I'm right, I can add some information about 待っちょる. What's characteristic about those dialects is that they differentiate between continuous (be doing) and perfect (have done) tense, while Kanto and Kansai dialects express both in a shared form; 待っている, 待ってる, or 待っとる. Though 待つ doesn't often appear used in perfect tense, both Kanto and Kansai dialects use 何かが落ちてる for "there's something fallen" and "there's something falling". However, in the dialects in Shikoku, Sang-yo and some other regions they're expressed in different forms, which are typically "落ちよる" for continuous, and "落ちとる" for perfect. Depending on the region, they may change their forms slightly (in Kochi they're 落ちゆう and 落ちちゅう, and in Okayama they may sound like 落ちょーる and 落ちとる). As for 待っちょる, that sounds to me like one of such forms based on 待ちよる (continuous), and that's most likely to be from Northern Shikoku. So 待っちょる and しよる are not exactly a "further dialectal form of Kansaian 待っとる and しとる" or "a part of Kansai dialect". It's a completely independent dialect in one of those areas.

[@ccengineer5902]

On the "思わんの" or the other Kansai phrases she used, the Kansai intonation wasn't really there so I doubt she's Kansai. She was probably just emulating a speech pattern she heard from a character on tv or something, which is cute for a 6 year old to do. It's kind of like a little kid in NY trying to say something in a southern accent. EDIT: I watched some of their other videos, and it seems that her dad has a Kansai accent, but her mother does not. She also typically does not use Kansai phrasing, so they probably do not live in the Kansai region.

I told her she would regret teaching us things but a simple conversation while waiting for the train, for example, would go something like this. よ！おっさん。(for context we were both in our early 20s at the time) あ、おまえさぁ。天気は。 今日は真剣寒いな~。 はぁぁ、何って言っちょるかい。めっちゃ暑ぇ。ぼけ...

[@R0Tl]

Indeed, they work similarly. There are of course some differences, like certain ones being used in certain situations (for example mita koto nai, I've never seen it, you can't say it with mita no nai), but the general meaning is the same. That is, they both turn the verb into a noun phrase, otherwise known as nominalization. PS, there are also situations where verb + koto isn't to turn the verb into a noun, but the verb is acting more like an adjective, and koto is being used with the meaning "thing/something". For example, tsukaeru koto could mean something that you can use, where koto means something and tsukaeru means able to use.

The は will place emphasis on the "walking" part, 今日は歩いていってきます。If you use が you place emphasis on "today" (as opposed to some other time/day): 今日が歩いていってきます。 If you want to say "for a walk/stroll", you do indeed use "ni" as in "osanpo ni" (for a stroll), and thus the sentence becomes 今日が/はお散歩にいってきます。　「いってくる」at the end means (to go (do something) and return)

@@japanesefromzerofrom what I know, this is new slang for “what the hell” but exclusively used on the internet and carries the undertone of the “brain rot” culture of some parts of the internet. “Brain rot” is a new colloquial term for social media content and culture that often is unintelligible and may be seen as nonsense and “brain damaging” thus earning the name of brain *rot*. Although this may not be entirely correct, this is my best description.
