Japanese Hougen Kyushu

 18 June 07:06   These examples are mainly from Hakata-ben (Fukuoka dialect).

    ano sa instead of ano ne (hey, accept up...)

    asoban instead of asobou (lets play)

    batten instead of da kedo (but)

    da ken instead of da kedo (but)

    yokaroumon instead of deshou (good, dont you think?)

    bari instead of totemo (very)

    shitoocchan instead of shiterunda (Im accomplishing it)

    ~shitookiyo instead of shite kinasai (please do ~; acclimated with children)

    tottouto instead of tottimasu (to take)

    yokka yokka instead of sou desu ne (yeah; is that so?)

    To anatomy acknowledging sentences, add ~bai to end of the accepted Japanese sentence.

    Kore wa enpitsu desu. = Kore wa enpitsu bai. (This is a pencil.)

    To anatomy interrogative sentences, add ~to to end of the accepted Japanese sentence.

    Sore wa pen desu ka? = Abscessed wa pen to? (Is that a pen?)

    For adjectives only, change the endure ~i of the adjective to ~ka if cogent one word.

    Sore wa minikui. = Abscessed wa miniku ka. (Thats ugly.)

    For adjectives in a sentence, add ~ken to end of adjectives.

    Kyou wa samui desu. = Kyou wa samui ken. (Today is cold.)

    Useful words:

    me = uchi

    you = aatan

    no = innya

    yes = yoka

    I like Hakata ben.

    =Hakata ben suitoh. (in Hakata ben)

    Kagoshima ben is difficult.

    =Kagoshima benna mutsukashika. (in old Hakata ben)

    I will be appropriate there!

    =ima kara kukken!
