>Talking in dialect in a public place with people you aren't familiar with

Dude, you just went full retard.

If you're good enough, it isn't hard to understand other dialects.

>>>/b/ for you. /int/ would've been a better suggestion, idiot.

>>6946276
Dunno, man. Kansai makes my dick hard that's for sure.

>>6946393
>Dunno, man. Kansai makes my dick hard that's for sure.
This.
I mean, the biggest reason I even got into Japanese entertainment was because I loved the sound of the language, but Kansai-ben is on a completely different level.

>>6946393

No, /lang/ is fine.

>>6946393
Back to >>>/a/ with you

I'm going to Osaka/kyoto for a month, I have no idea about the different ways of speaking, is it just just like, certain syllables are stressed/pronounced differently, or is it completely different words? Like I guess for an example is it say, the difference between a Texan and a Philadelphian, or American/British different?

>>6946400
No, it isn't. You're an idiot. The board /int/ wouldn't exist if his question was meant for it. I guess, since we're writing a language we should go to /lang/ too. He's not asking how to learn Japanese, so fuck off.

>>6946406
>>>/b/
Take your back to /a/ back to /b/.

>>6946431

No, /lang/ is fine.

Also, you're pretty much admitting this isn't /jp/-related.

>>6946431
Is faking stupidity the new cool way to troll?

>>6946420
I don't know very detailed, but yes, some words are completely different. I particularly remember that they say ええ instead of いい.

>>6946450
>ええ instead of いい

>>6946437
It obviously isn't related to /jp/. You should try upping your comprehension of English before you judge where a topic belongs. I didn't suggest it belongs on /jp/ in any post.

>>6946438
Is acting like a /b/tard spouting off the meme "go to [insert]" the new troll? Get the board correct at least, otherwise shut up, son.

>>6946462
変やな～

>>6946466
Too obvious, man.

>>6946466

No, /lang/ is fine.

>>6946477
Nice Kero there, I laughed.

>>6946420
Leaving aside the fact that the accent is different (it sounds like they're drunk with the accent fluctuations), some of the particles are completely different, like they say しもうた instead of しまった, use -へん instead of -ない when doing negative verbs, or shit like that.
At first it'd be hard, but once you get which forms they use in place of the normal onces it's not that difficult figuring out what they're saying. Once you're used to it, it's kinda charming in its own musical way.

>だじゃや
What the fuck, Kagawa?

Japanese can be understood even if you rob if of it's usual pitch.
Since the various dialects are mostly distinguished by the way they use pitch, I'm pretty sure this means that if you speak one dialect you can understand them all.

Compare Scots, British English, and American English. They're all fundamentally the same language, but the accent, slang, and word used for any given thing is sometimes different.

>>6946553
>rob of usual pitch
>are you asking me a question or stating something you did

What's the dialect where people usually end with "だべ"? I think it's a northern one, usually associated with farming folk.

>>6946577
what is a ka? also, how do you ask questions in english for that matter?

>>6946590
>implying people in japan use ka laughinggirls.jpg
Goes to show how often you converse with japanese people, they literally drop everything making a sentence as compact as possible, instead of ka just raise your voice.

In english If I say I went to the store it means I went to the store
If I say Did you go to the store it means Did you go to the store.

But in Japan they don't use pronouns, and most of the time they don't even use a name so they just say

コンビニに行った。
for I went to the store
or
コンビニに行った。

Generally it is implied you are talking about yourself, but with dem crazy japs you can never be sure.
Did you go to the store.

Shit sucks.

>>6946613
It's such a shitty language, I have no idea why I want to learn it

>>6946636
Better quit it then before you start grinding those hiraganas.

>>6946613
i can't into kanji barely, so i'm kinda confused.

did you say こうった. you said or, but they look the same to me.

>>6946824

Oh god, just give up before you hurt yourself.

>>6946828
don't blame me. my equipment was faulty. when i used mecab instead of rikaichan i got the right translation. 行った　いった.

お主らは馬鹿かえ
妾日本語何ぞ余裕なのじゃ

>>6947078
>妾

>>6946824
sorry, the or was the joke
They are written and said the exact same way, the only way to know if someone is asking "did you?" is if they raise their voice at the end.
Generally, as a foreigner, you better be using desu and ka and all that other "Oh so cute he thinks he speaks japanese!!" politeness, less the Japanese cower in fear at your brutal manifest destiny of words, but do not be surprised at all if most people just talk super causal, even slurring/using slang, when they are comfortable with you, and when that happens you get into those unique situations where they forget you are not a native speaker and you have to more or less guess at what the fuck they are trying to say since they dropped all the "none essential" information / decided to throw in a pun just to try to throw you off.
