    FYI, a lot of people love and support her not only because she’s eloquent and funny but also because she’s a fighter. She has scoliosis and has been on a wheelchair for the past few years, but she wants to be able to walk on her own again and she was doing an amazing amount of rehab. Unfortunately, things have not gone the way they wished for and now she’s bedridden 😢 Her mom says Rio-chan is ok as long as she’s lying down, but the parents have been devastated for the past week 😢 I hope you find their channel and send them some love.

    Rio-chan and her family lives in Shikoku, not Osaka or Kansai. People in Shikoku have their own dialects and accents but they sound a lot like Kansai-ben. If you’re not from the area, you probably can’t tell the difference.

    Pitch accent really isn't necessary, but if you're going to speak Japanese everyday, there comes a moment the confusion face that Japanese people make starts to get too much. I had to study it a little bit, to make myself easier to understand. Edit: But I still think pitch accent is not a very important aspect of the Japanese language, by the fact that I could make myself understood even though I get it wrong all the time. In my native language, Portuguese, if you get the stress accent wrong, what you're saying becomes gibberish and no one will understand you. That's not the case with Japanese, pitch accent never does that. It's just not that important to the Japanese language. Edit2: Pitch accent is not Stress accent. Edit3: The pitchless accent way he spoke was funny to me, because that's precisely how Brazilians speak japanese lol We think all words are pitchless, and say them flat. I heard people say it sounds funny our cute, but after I noticed it, I could never unhear it. Edit4: This reversal of pitch for names was something that blew my mind when I was younger. Because of anime, I thought that Sakura was pronounced "SAkura", but later it was explained to me that the tree is "sakuRA", and the other way was just for the character's name. Edit5: "The pitch curve" is something that Dougen and others have talked about, but not with this name. It's a result of: 1- when the pitch goes down, it doesn't go back again. 2- Resetting the initial tone of voice for the next sentence (or else you're gonna sound like a base singer). It's something that is even in wikipedia. Final opinion: I agree with you overall. Learning the concept that pitch goes down in general (pitch curve) is more important than learning the name of every kind of pitch (odaka, heiban, etc). It's a good idea to know that it exists, and to at least know the difference of a pitchless word and a word with pitch, and the difference between pitch and stress. Although I agree with you on the main points, I have a small criticism. It seems to me, and I might be wrong, that you are confusing pitch and stress. The way you said "ame" makes me think so.

    Thanks. I found it funny when you said 'like' and then discussed a term that means 'like,' as in "like...ya know..like..." Without realizing you were using the construction in English at the same time... By the way, it's true about 'bacon.' Sausages in general, unless you go organic, contain the worst preservatives, known to cause cancer, particularly pancreatic cancer. My dad died of it the other day. It always seemed strange to me why he'd chose sausages over the sushi my mom made because sausages taste real gross to my hafu taste buds. But he'd hog that stuff every day if he could help it. It really made for a dull cuisine when Mom was a genius chef. I guess bacon, etc, reminded him of his Mom...and so it goes... I enjoyed this analysis enough to want to watch more. I wonder if you can do some videos on adjectives like 'jimi', 'egui', etc. Why do people smirk when we use them? Also a good video would be on the differences between internal and external words like otoosan and chichi. I just learned the word 'sobo' for instance when I should have realized there had to be an outward facing obaachan as well. P.s. Could you also do videos on abusive words? But also abusive words in the family? My mum never called me by my given name but kept firing off similar names and diminutives when she was pissed off...like...nani-nani-'suke'..!! Naninani-'taro'..! Narcissm must be a thing in Japan too but how do we recognize it..? Oh and one more thing... Do you think you could do something on the meanings of 'silence'..? It creeps me out but my mom was-is more often than not silent and not in a good way...she could be silent for almost the entire week I go to visit. What the hell is going on there..? And I can't seem to communicate anything about communication with her, such as the things you're discussing here. She just starts screaming. Oh, and is it ever-always-sometimes wrong to address my mother as 'anata'..? Or do I always have to use 'okaasan'..? Or 'kaasan'..? Is there any way I can level with her, be equal, or do I always have to play the subordinate idiot.??

    You have a ton of ideas! I’ll add some to my idea board. You’re a regular アイディアすけ. Seems like your mother has a slight anger issue. The silence thing is the worst…. I’ve experienced it and it always means I’ve really messed up. I have good news though! I’m no longer eating bacon. Sorry to hear about your dad though. Is your mom still around?

    @@japanesefromzero Gracias por su comentario. Ok, great, I'm an 'idea-suke'..! Yip, she's still around but showing signs of dementia. Never calls me, so I've got to the point of not bothering to call in on her. My sister's family have moved in to take care of her. I'll field more ideas to you when they come to me. There's a lot of unprocessed stuff I need to get a handle on. Arguably, the Japanese language-culture is the test case for intercultural (mis)understanding. I went to uni and did East-West philosophy to try to understand my family better..! I should have taken courses in Nihongo though, I guess, although the emphasis seemed mostly on the language and not on cultural differences, so I opted against it but I'm much keener now. The thing is direct translation doesn't reveal the innards...the hierarchy of values, ideas, protocols of speaking, the whole Confucian substrate, complicated by new religious ideas post-WWII, like Sokkagakai and Seichounoie, etc, which seem amalgams, compromises, hybrids with Western psychology and old Western psychology to boot, bordering on magical thinking, inclusive of ancestor worship. Oh boy, there's just so much that's puzzled me, but understanding doesn't necessarily bring empathy either, given how low we in the West think of magical thinking, then again there's Studio Ghibli which seems a plus. Thus, pluses and minuses can be flipped daily for people like us trying to understand where we stand..! The not-knowing drives me up the wall sometimes and other times turns me into a Zen monk. Glad to hear you're no longer eating bacon. P.s. This little boy-girl in your video sounds very wise..? Reincarnation of a monk-nun..? If you know of any book titles that go into the cultural differences beyond 'hold your chopsticks like this' category, then please let me know. I'll read them all..!!

    On the "思わんの" or the other Kansai phrases she used, the Kansai intonation wasn't really there so I doubt she's Kansai. She was probably just emulating a speech pattern she heard from a character on tv or something, which is cute for a 6 year old to do. It's kind of like a little kid in NY trying to say something in a southern accent. EDIT: I watched some of their other videos, and it seems that her dad has a Kansai accent, but her mother does not. She also typically does not use Kansai phrasing, so they probably do not live in the Kansai region.
