こんばんは！
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、知らんけど、について。

日本では、毎年、年末になるとその年の流行語大賞というものが選ばれます。1年の間に話題になった出来事や発言、流行などの中からその年を代表することばを選ぶ賞です。毎年30のことばがノミネートされて、その後にトップ10が選ばれるようです。

その中で、おもしろい言葉が入っていたので紹介しますね。

それは、知らんけど、です。
これ、関西弁なんです。
そして、昔からある言葉です。
関西人どうしでは、少なくとも1日1回は使ってるかもしれないですね。知らんけど。

とこんな感じで使う言葉です。
ちょっと簡単に説明します。

関西人特有なのかわからないですけど、とりあえずなんでもちょっと知ってることは話しはじめるんですね。で、話してる途中に、これ間違ってたら嫌やな、って思ったり、責任を持ちたくないので、最後に知らんけど、ってつけるんです。

でもこれは関西人は結構使ってるので、関西人どうしでは全く問題ないですね。だいたいみんな、知らんのかい！ってつっこんで終わります。たぶんね、知らんけど。

例文、
『スラムダンクの映画はアニメ派には酷評、原作派には好評らしいよ、知らんけど』

最近の話ですけど、日本の漫画のスラムダンクが映画で始まったんですね。ぼくも来週見に行こうと思ってます。でもこの映画は結構、いろんな意見があるみたいです。それで、友達と話す時は、例文のような会話がある、という感じですね。


ということで、今回は知らんけど、について話しました。
最近オンラインレッスンで話している人に関西弁おもしろい！って言ってもらえたので、また関西弁シリーズのPodcastもしようと思います。

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！

#157 知らんけどについて


You just got into bed after a long day, and you're exhausted. You plan to spend a few minutes on your phone — maybe scrolling Instagram or TikTok — and then sleep.

But when you try to sleep, it's not as easy as you thought it would be. You were so tired — what happened?

According to a new study, your phone may be the problem.

The study, done by researchers at New Zealand's University of Otago, involved 85 kids aged 11 to 14. They each spent a week wearing a body camera on their chest starting from three hours before they got into bed.

A second camera was also placed in their bedrooms to monitor their phone use once they were in bed. They also wore a device that tracked their sleep.

The researchers found that 99% of the participants used their phones in the two hours before bed. More than half used their phones while they were in bed, and about a third used their phones after trying to go to sleep.

The results showed that screen time in bed affected participants' sleep — it stopped them from going to sleep for about half an hour, and also reduced the amount of sleep they got.

The impact was larger when participants had a more interactive experience — such as playing a game — or if they used more than one screen. For every additional 10 minutes of this type of screen time, sleep time was reduced by the same amount.

Interestingly, phone use in the two hours before bed had little impact on sleep.

According to lead researcher Bradley Brosnan, the results suggest that, while current guidelines recommend no screen time in the hour or two before bed, keeping phones out of the bedroom might be enough for a better night's sleep.
