Some pet words I've learned from owning a dog and looking at adopting a cat in Japan

牡（おす）・雌（めす）male/female (for animals)

飼い主（かいぬし）(a pet's) owner

飼育（しいく）owning a pet (noun), more formal version of ペットを飼う（かう）, to own a pet

大型犬の飼育は可能ですか？is it possible to own a large dog? (a phrase I used when looking for apartments)

ワンちゃん・ニャンちゃん　informal way of saying dog and cat respectively, not as childish as I would've thought, and I've heard plenty of adults use it. I included it because it's more common than I expected.

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♡

vocabulary (関西弁・標準語・英語) (kansai dialect - standard japanese - english)

あかん　・　ダメ　・ don’t! / stop!

ええ　・　良い (いい)　・ good

ちゃう　・　違う (ちがう)　・ different

めっちゃ　・　とても　・ very

ほんま　・　本当 (ほんとう)　・ really

自分 (じぶん)　・　あなた　・ you

うち　・　私　・　i (primarily used by girls!)

おおきに　・　ありがとう　・ thanks (not used anymore)

あほ　・　ばか　・ idiot

しんどい　・　疲れた (つかれた)　・ tired

マクド　・　マック (マクドナルド)　・mc donalds

~回生　・　~年生　・~ grade (１回生 - first grader)

はよ　・　早く(はやく)　・fast

おる　・　いる　・ to be / exist (in osaka)

ほんで　・　そして　・　and…

phrases (関西弁・標準語・英語) (kansai dialect - standard japanese - english)

わからへん　・　わからない　・i don’t understand

なんでやねん　・　なぜだの　・what the … (lit. why is it)

知らんけど　・　知らないけど　・not sure though

かっこええなぁ　・　かっこいいね　・she/he’s cool/handsome

せぇやな/そやな　・　そうね　・that’s it

めっちゃ好きやねん　・　とて好きだの　・i love/like it/you　

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!

(if you’re also interested in grammar and intonation, you can click  “keep reading”!)

[jibunstudies]

also worth adding that in kansai, calling someone あほ is considered to be really light-hearted and fun (parents often say it to their children when they do something silly or misbehave), but ばか is really strong and considered to be quite rude and is hardly used. you’ll almost 100% hear people use あほ here!

わからん and 知らん can also be considered a bit uncaring, so be careful how you use them and in what context! it’s almost like saying “i don’t know and i don’t care” all in one syllable, especially depending on tone. わからへん is safe, though. everyone uses that, ha.

if you want to hear kansaiben, i recommend watching any kansai variety shows you can find! my favorite is 関ジャニ∞クロニクル, but there are tons of them.

p.s. everyone in kansai talks about 5 times as fast as standard japanese speakers and their intonation is different on almost everything (even our train announcements are faster than tokyo’s!!!! lmao)

Keigo: Ancient Sound Changes that still affect Modern Japanese

Okay, so today I want to talk a little about everyone’s FAVORITE  subject: Keigo </sarcasm>.  Waaaaay back in Kobun Japanese, there used to be 2 types of conjugated adjectives which eventually both turned into い adjectives. These were called く and しく adjectives. Even though in Modern Japanese, these have both turned into い adjectives, in Keigo there’s still some weirdness.  The major rule is that く turns into う, dropping /k/, but over time, there’s been a lot of sound changes that have made this rule much harder to follow. 

Change #1: aく -> おう  This change happened because in Japanese, 95% of the time あう becomes おう (this is where the おう conjugation comes from; it was originally the Mizenkei of the verb with う, but it sound changed into おう)

ex: *おはやくございます* -> おはようございます (I guarantee you’ve heard this before)

Change #2: iく -> ゆう This one has similar motivations as the last one; as time went on, いう started being pronounced as ゆう, as in 言う

ex: *大きくございます* -> 大きゅうございます

Change #3: uく -> うう This one also makes sense if you look at it; the く becomes う, and the old う just stays the same

ex: *寒くございます* -> 寒うございます

Change #4: eく -> よう Actually, this one’s a lie. If there were えい い- adjectives, this is out it would work, but if you remember back to your early Japanese learning, you’ll remember that all adjectives ending in えい are な-adjectives. 

Change #4.1: oく -> おう Again, this one is pretty simple; く becomes う, and they just combine.

ex: *面白くございます* -> 面白うございます

Change #5: しく -> しゅう I’ll be dead honest here: I have no clue why this one happens. It down’t follow any Kobun sound changes, and just kinda does its own thing. If anyone has an inkling what’s going on here, please let me know!

ex: *涼しくございます* -> 涼しゅうございます

Sound changes also affect Respectful Verbs, though to a lesser extent than Adjectives

Change #6: り -> い

ex: ござります -> ございます ex: いらっしゃります -> いらっしゃいます Change #7: れ -> い

ex: くだされ -> ください (You’ve almost definitely heard this word too) ex: なされ -> なさい (Again, probably a word you’ve heard before)

Anyways, I think that about covers all the major sound changes that affect Keigo.I hope this helped if you’ve ever ran into troubles with these words before!!

Japanese Counters

Counting in Japanese may seem difficult when you first try to tackle it. That’s because of all of the different counters used. Instead of thinking of them as a new speaking rule, try to think of them in the same way as they are used in English. For example; 12 PIECES of paper 6 SLICES of pizza 4 BOWLS of soup and so on Here are the counters you’ll need to know

 人(にん/ nin) > People 

  一人 (ほとり/ hitori) > one person 

 二人 (ふたり/ futari) > two people 

 三人 (さんにん/ sannin) > three people 

 四人 (よんにん/ yonnin) > four people 

 五人 (ごにん/ gonin) > five people 

冊 (さつ/ satsu) > Bound Objects  

一冊 (いっさつ/ issatsu) > one bound object 

二冊(にさつ/ nisatsu) > two bound objects 

三冊(さんさつ/ sansatsu) > three bound obj. 

四冊(よんさつ/ yonsatsu) > four bound obj. 

五冊(ごさつ/gosatsu) > five bound obj. 

台 (だい/ dai) > Mechanical Items 

一台(いちだい/ ichidai) >one mechanical obj. 

二台(にだい/nidai)> two mechanical obj. 

三台(さんだい/sandai)> three mechanical obj 

四台(よんだい/yondai)> four mechanical obj. 

五台(ごだい/godai)> five mechanical obj. 

杯 (はい/ hai) > Liquid in glasses, cups, or bowls 

一杯(いっぱい/ippai)> one cup/glass/bowl of 

二杯(にはい/nihai) > two cups/glasses/bowls 

三杯(さんはい/sanhai)> 3 cups/glasses/bowls 

枚 (まい/ mai) > Thin Flat Objects -

一枚(いちまい/ichimai)> one piece of paper 

二枚(にまい/nimai)> two pieces paper 

三枚(さんまい/sanmai)>three pieces of paper 

四枚(よんまい/yonmai)>four pieces of paper 

五枚(ごまい/gomai)>five pieces of paper 

本 (ほん/ hon) > Long Cylindrical Items 

一本(いっぽん/ippon)> one pencil** 

二本(にっぽん/nippon)>two pencils 

三本(さんぼん/sanbon)>three pencils 

四本(よんほん/yonhon)>four pencils 

五本(ごほん/gohon)> five pencils

匹 (ひき/ hiki) > Animals 

一匹 (いっぴき/ippiki) >one animal 

二匹 (にひき/nihiki) > two animals 

三匹 (さんびき/sanbiki) > three animals 

四匹 (よんひき/yonhiki) > four animals 

五匹 (ごひき/gohiki) > five animals 

 **pencil was used here just as an example of a long cylindrical object. 

~In most situations the Chinese origin numbers are used for the counters listed above, but note the words for 1 person and 2 people employ the native Japanese numbers. 

 Here are the native Japanese Numbers: 

 一つ > ひとつ > hitotsu > one 

二つ > ふたつ > futastu > two

三つ > みっつ > mittsu > three 

四つ > よっつ > yottsu > four 

五つ > いつつ > itsutsu > five 

六つ > むっつ > muttsu > six 

七つ > ななつ > nanatsu > seven 

八つ > やっつ > yattsu > eight 

九つ > ここのつ > kokonotsu > nine 

十 > とお > too > ten 

**Native numbers are used for things like round objects, furniture, mountains, starts, and other very abstract ideas 

1.) 問題が二つあります。>mondai ga futatsu arimasu> there are two problems.  

2.) ソファーを一つ買います。>Sofaa wo hitotsu kaimasu > I will buy one sofa 3.) 紙が二十三枚あります。>kami ga nijuusan-mai arimasu > There are 23 pieces of paper 

4.)犬が一匹います。> inu ga ippiki imasu > There is one dog.

Edit: I removed the link, because my video is down. 

I also want to mention that 一人 means both “one person” and also “alone”. So please don’t let that confuse you! 

[nodoyodobenkyou]

Reblogging this one again to clear up some confusion. The Japanese words for “one person” and “alone” are the same. So, it reads as ‘Hitori” instead of as “ichinin”.
