Question by : About osaka ben/kansai dialect?
I have many friends from Osaka and i will also go there soon, so what are some typical daily words etc that differs from the Tokyo dialect? Especially in female speech.
Like for ex. I heard that instead of saying “ikenai” they use “akan” and instead of “ne” they say”na”.
Please help !

Answer by rhubarb
a friend of mine from Kyoto would say these;

uchi = watashi (female)
ookini = arigatou
se-hen = shinai
homma? = hontou?
ee-yan-ka = iija nai
nan-de-ya-nen? (stress on ‘de’) = doushite?

*She was insisting that Kyoto-ben is different from Osaka-ben (….;)
—— but I think the above is also used in Osaka
