Into The Dorama World

* Places, part 1 *

Did you ever like a drama/movie so much that you wished you were living in its world? Well, unfortunately this is still not possible, but at least we can visit a few drama-related places and feel a little bit closer to our favourite stories and leads ^

Cherished happy moments. :)

The most vicious of Islam’s enemies, is an ignorant Muslim, who becomes entrenched in his ignorance, and deforms -by his actions- the true face of Islam, while boasting to the world that his deeds are representative of Islam”

- Ahmad Deedat

@_amatsuki_ ふと 嫌なことって基本やりたくないけれど、嫌なことでも挑戦してみないと自分自身に新しいものって見えてこない気がした もちろん嫌だけど

昔は野菜死ぬほど嫌いだったけれど今はうめぇうめぇって食べれるし それが出来たほうが人生楽しそうだな

Amatsuki: Hmm… It’s natural to not want to do things you dislike, but i feel that if you don’t step up to challenge these things, you wouldn’t be able to find out new stuff about yourself. Of course, even though i dislike it. I used to hate vegetables but now i can eat them saying ‘delicious~ delicious~’ So, to be able to accomplish that is actually the fun of life.

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♡

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!

how have i never heard of archive.org until today.. it’s an internet library that functions just like a real one, as in you borrow the books for 2 weeks and then they are returned to the archive. you can dl pdfs as well, but you’ll lose access after the 2 week period. it’s all free tho, literally just like a real library. i was searching for a cheap copy of this serial murder book from the 90s for my thesis and i found it for free on here. there’s like.. no gimmick at all? i’m so amazed. i literally just signed up and now i’m reading a super hq scan of this book for free. i love libraries.
