CAN'T.NO.STATISTICS!!!

LOOOOL This is hilarious tbh and so true

now that i’m older and understand how absolutely fucked the housing market is, all those horror movies that take place in nice houses where the family refuses to leave make sense. if i had a 4,000sqft vintage home you’d need to kill me before i ever moved out as well. fuck the ghost. charge it rent.

be poetic. if you find the way the light falls through your window and onto your bedroom wall pretty, write about it. call it soft and golden as sunlit honey. if it makes you glad to be alive then it’s not silly. you look for the beauty of things, be proud of that. say the heavy rain is kissing you. write about the glow of the moon, the dancing of flowers. make your world magical. collect your metaphors and treasure them.

関西弁 — kansai dialect

when learning japanese as a foreign language, most people will learn standard japanese 標準語 (ひょうじゅんご), as it’s the type of japanese taught in a classroom setting or in your textbooks.

however there are a lot of dialects in japan, one of the most famous one being 関西弁 (かんさいべん) the kansai dialect! kansai dialect is said to sound louder, harsher and more melodic.

関西弁 (かんさいべん) summarizes all dialect spoken in the 関西 (かんさい) region ( ~弁 (べん) is used to describe a dialect). kansai includes cities like osaka, kyoto or nara. the most famous variation of kansai dialect would probably be 大阪弁 (おおさかべん) osaka dialect.

i’m going be teaching you some kansai dialect now! (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

misc.

in kansai dialect the う as in です or ます is pronounced.

the kansai dialect is associated with a fun, outgoing personality. in anime characters might speak kansai dialect even if they aren’t from kansai. (also in dubbing of foreign animation, some characters might speak kasai ben to underline their character!)

remember that most people (especially younger generations) don’t really speak thick kansai dialect all the time! it’s mostly a mix of standard japanese and dialect. when speaking formally people rarely use kansai dialect but switch to 丁寧語 (ていねいご) polite language of the standard speech.

here’s a video of attack on titan scenes dubbed in kansai dialect compared with standard japanese! even if you can’t understand everything maybe you can still notice the different melody and some characteristics of kansai dialect like  へん ending on verbs, and the copula や (more in the read more)!! i thought it was super interesting and maybe you could also watch it if you don’t like anime.

thanks for reading! please inform me of any mistakes as both japanese and english aren’t my native language(´･ᴗ･ ` ) tumblr mobile, or at least mine, doesn’t display this post correctly!
