Kansai dialect with ヤンヤンマギー先生 ( = Yanyan Maggie Sensei)

「マギー、ボーボーやん！」

= Maggie booboo yan!

= Your hair is a mess!

「モコモコやん！」

= Mokomoko yan!

= You look soft and fluffy

Hi everyone!

Today we have a guest teacher ,モコ先生 ( = Moko sensei) .

Doesn’t she look soft and fluffy? :h:

Since we have been studying grammar lately, let’s study  something fun today with this adorable animation video called

やんやんマチコ ( = Yanyan Machiko)?

やんやんマチコ  ( = Yanyan machiko) is produced by Kanaban Graphics. Official webpage

マチコ( = Machiko) is a girl sheep who speaks 大阪弁 ( = Osakaben ) Osaka dialect, let’s say  関西弁  ( = kansaiben), Kansai dialect because it is more general.

So in this lesson we will study some 関西弁  ( = kansaiben), Kansai dialect patterns and a few onomatopoeic words.

Machiko uses this Kansai dialect suffix やん  ( =  yan) a lot so that she is called やんやんマチコ ( = Yanyan Machiko) :)

やん ( = yan) is a suffix that is used to express your feelings or opinions or ask the listeners for the agreement.

It is equivalent to じゃない ( = janai) （→a colloquial way of saying ではないですか  ( = dewanai desuka)）

or じゃん ( = jan) which is mainly used in some Kantou or Chubu areas, etc.

For example,

:s: cute = かわいい = kawaii

When you want to say,

● Isn’t it cute?  (asking the listeners’s agreement )

● I think it’s cute.  (When you state your feelings, opinions)

● How cute! (Talking to yourself.)

:u:

In standard Japanese, we say,

●かわいいね = kawaiine = It’s cute, isn’t it?

●かわいいなあ = kawaiina = How cute!

●かわいいじゃない = kawaiijanai = How cute! / I think it’s cute.

●かわいいじゃん = kawaiijan = How cute! / It’s cute!

In Kansai dialect :

They say,

!to right! かわいいやん  ( =  kawaiiyan) 

This やん ( = yan)  suffix makes your quote sound softer and cuter somehow especially when Machiko uses.

Both men and women can use やん ( = yan)

Sometimes they add か  ( = ka) to emphasize the quote. →やんか  ( = yanka)

かわいいやんか = kawaiiyanka = It’s cute, isn’t it?

How to form :

1) Add やん ( = yan)  after adjective,

●いい = ii = good

Ex.すごくいいじゃない/ いいじゃん

= Sugoku iijanai /  Iijan  

= It’s great! ? / I think it’s great!

 めっちゃええやん

= Meccha eeyan

= I think it’s great!

Note : めっちゃ ( =  meccha) is Kansai-dialect which measn “very much/ a lot”

●だめ = dame = not good, bad

Ex. だめじゃない/ だめじゃん

= damejanai/ damejan

= You shouldn’t do (that). / That is bad. / That’s not good.

あかんやん

= akanyan

Note: あかん ( = akan) is another typical Osaka-dialect.

●おいしい = oishii = delicious

Ex. おいしいじゃない/おいしいじゃん

 = oishiijanai/oishiijan

or

おいしいね

= oishiine

=It’s delicious, isn’t it? / It’s delicious!

 おいしいやん

= Oishiiyan

2) after verbs

●来る ( = kuru) = to come

Ex.もうすぐマギー先生が来るやん

= Mousugu Maggie sensei ga kuruyan

= Maggie Sensei will be here soon

●〜言った ( = itta) = said/told

Ex. 何回も言ったやん

= Nankai mo ittayan

= I told you many times.

●〜です ( = 〜desu)

Ex. そうですね。

= Soudesune.

=  You are right. / That’s right!

Ex. そうですやん

=  Soudesuyan

= That’s true/ It’s true /  You are right.

Ex. そうじゃないじゃない。

= Soujanai janai.

= That is not true. / You are not right.

そうやないやん (= Souyanaiyan)

●がんばった= gannbatta = tried hard

 

Ex. がんばったじゃない

= Ganbattajanai

= (I think) You did a good job!

がんばったやん

= Ganbattayan

3) after nouns

● うそ = uso =lie

Ex. うそだ!  

= usoda 

= No way! / Really! / You gotta be kidding me!

うそやん

= usoyan

●雨= ame = rain

Ex.  すごい雨だなあ。

= Sugoi amedanaa.

= What rain! / It’s really coming down! / Look at this rain!

えらい雨やん

= Erai ame yan

Note : えらい = erai = (Kansai dialect) a lot, very much

4) And  with onomatopoeic words

●モコモコ = mokomoko = soft and fluffy

Ex. モコモコじゃない

= mokomoko janai

= It looks soft and fluffy, isn’t it?

or モコモコだね

= Mokomoko dane (asking for the agreement)

= Doen’t it look soft and fluffy?

モコモコやん？

= Mokomoko yan?

:maggie-small: Let’s look at the picture above :

「マギー、ボーボーやん！」

= Maggie booboo yan!

= Your hair is a mess!

「モコモコやん！」

= Mokomoko yan!

= You look soft and fluffy!

Our guest teacher, Moko-Sensei, is a toy poodle.

If you see a toy poodle, you can say,

 

モコモコだね！

= Mokomoko dane!

= It looks (feels) soft and fluffy

🔸モコモコ = もこもこ ( =  mokomoko) is an onomatopoeic word to describe something that is soft and fluffy

Note : You can use either katakana or hiragana. In modern Japanese, there are no strict rules as to what words  should be written in hiragana and what words  should be written in katakana. It used to be fashionable to write everything in katakana, but there has been a recent trend to write katakana words in hiragana. It makes the words look softer and cuter.

A fluffy sweater, sheep skin, poodles are all モコモコ ( = mooomomoko)

Ex. そのセーターモコモコだね。

= Sono seetaa mokomoko dane.

= The sweater looks soft and fluffy.

Ex. この冬はモコモコ(の)ソックスが流行っています。

= Kono fuyu wa mokomoko (no) sokkusu ga hayatte imasu.

= The soft and fluffy socks are very popular in this winter.

:n: ボーボー ( = booboo)  also ぼうぼう/ボウボウ( = boubou) onomatopoeia to describe long messy hair that hasn’t been taken care or been been cut in a long time. Hair that is, well, hairy or furry

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

★あっ、うちマチコ！

= Ah, uchi Machiko!

= Oh, (Hi!) I am Machiko

Note : うち = uchi = 私 = わたし = watashi = the first pronoun, “I“

★二十歳の夢見る乙女やねん。

= Hatachi no yumemiru otome yanen

= I am a 20 year old dreaming girl

Note : 二十歳 = はたち = hatachi = 20 years old

You can also read this as にじゅっさい  ( = nijussai)

When you count days or years, we have special ways of counting. はたち ( = hatachi) 20 years old.

Also ２０日 = the 20th is called  はつか ( = hatsuka)

●夢 = ゆめ= yume = dream

the verb = to dream = 夢を見る = yume wo miru

夢見る （ = yumemiru)  is an adjective = dreaming

夢みる乙女( = yumemiru otome)  = dreaming young girl / young lady

 

夢みる少女 ( = yumemiru shoujo)  = dreaming girls

●乙女 = otome = (old fashioned) young lady, maiden, virgin

Now, ねん ( = nen) is another typical Kansai dialect suffix which is used to predicate your statement.

While やん ( = yan) simply used to express your feelings or ask for the listeners agreement,

(や)ねん ( = (ya) nen) is used to state what you think/are going to do more clearly.

standard Japanese : ~の ( = no)／〜なの (  = ~nano)/(ん）だ ( = (n)da)

Ex. 来月、大阪にいくねん。

= Raigetsu Osaka ni ikunen.

= I will go to Osaka next month.

Ex. マギーのこと好きやねん！

＊〜好きなの（ = sukinano) female speech

= Nande•doushite sounaruno? 

●何言ってるの？

= Nani itteruno?

= What are you talking about?

●何やってるの！

= Nani yatteruno!

= What are you doing!

(Note : If we change it to standard Japanese, it loses the power of the phrase.

This is a typical comedian’s technique called ツッコミ= 突っ込み= tsukkomi = pointing out/picking on when a person around you did/said something strange in a funny way.)

★キュピーンなお年頃やねん。

= Kyupiinna otoshigoro ya nen

= I am at a “loving young age”.

●お年頃 ( = otoshigoro) refers to marriageable age, susceptible age (especially for girls)/ sensitive age of puberty

 

●キュピーン =  kyupiin

It’s a sound effect to express shiny/sharp beams from the eyes that you might hear/see in the animation

キュピーンなお年頃 ( =  kyupiin na otoshigoro) is Machiko’s famous line. Since it is a new word, I had to use my imagination to translate it as “loving young age” but it implies she is going through puberty when a girl’s heart twigs when they see someone they like. They are very sensitive at this time and can easily get hurt.

(standard Japanese)

*キュピーンなお年頃なの。

= Kyupiinna otoshigoro nano.

•こう見えて（も）( = koumiete(mo) ) = Despite my appearance, Even though this is how I look

You can use this when you tell who you are or what you have despite how you look.

In this case it is a joke because she obviously looks ボーボー( = booboo) = hairy.

●けどな ( = kedona) = but you know (casual)

(standard Japanese)
