Hi! I’m Suzuka! 😊
This is part 4 and the final episode of my Hokkaido series! This time, we’re talking about Hokkaido dialect ❄️
When people think of Hokkaido dialect, famous words like “namara” often come to mind.
But instead of making a dictionary-style list, I wanted to focus on words I actually use and expressions I genuinely thought were standard Japanese until I left Hokkaido.
In this episode, I talk about:
・Hokkaido words I still use all the time, like “waya,” “nashite,” “nanmo,” and “shitakke”
・Expressions you won’t find in textbooks, like “izui” and “-saru,” plus phrases like “tebukuro o haku” and “gomi o nageru” that I thought were standard Japanese
・Famous Hokkaido dialect words I personally don’t use very much & a Hokkaido dialect quiz at the end
I also share a few stories about accidentally using dialect while teaching Japanese.
