Nouns of locality

Many of us focus on only one aspect of our communication: language. We are obsessed with learning grammar and advanced vocabulary. But let me ask you, would you like to speak with someone who sounds dull, and whose tone is so flat that they make you fall asleep? No, right? In this video, I will share how you can improve the quality of your voice and sound confident while subconsciously improving your active vocabulary and grammar.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日は、関西弁のやん、について。

めっちゃ寒いやん！
とか、久しぶりやん！とか関西弁で良く使います。

どういう時に使うか、例文を使いながら、説明しますね。
うそやん
ーえ、うそやん！それは知らんかったわ。
　うそでしょ！みたいな意味ですね

めっちゃ安いやん
ーこれ、めっちゃ安いやん！買います！
　安いですね！みたいな意味です
　
言うてたやん
ー昨日は行くって言うてたやん
　言ってたでしょ、みたいな意味です

ええやん
ーそれ、めっちゃええやん
　とても良いね、みたいな意味です

ちゃうやん
ーちゃうやん、ちゃうやん、そういう意味じゃない
　違うよ、違うよ、みたいな意味です

例文としてはこんな感じですね。
だよ、とか、よね、とか、でしょ、とかそんな時に使います。

　僕は最近日本の漫才とかみませんが、漫才とか見ると、たぶん、良く聞くと思います。特にツッコミの人が言いますね。
それ、ーやん！
それちゃうやん！

もちろん、日常会話でもたっくさん使いますので、YouTubeとかで関西弁の人を見つけたら、聞いてみてください。

もし、関西弁を直接聞きたい！という人がいたら、ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！なんでも教えるでー。
この、でーも関西弁ですね。

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
