I was watching 僕だけがいない街 episode 4 and here is the dialog around 4 minutes in:
A「お前だって、最近まであいつらの中の一人だったろう？意地張ってないでお前も行けばいいじゃん」
B「じゃんって何？かっこつけてんの？」
Why is 「じゃん」 considered 「かっこつけ」 in this context?
Does the episode taking place in Hokkaido have anything to do with it? Or is it because of the 説教する言い方 that A is showing?
Starting to read One Piece (from vol. 91). Luffy seems to add a random エ in his sentences. Like here is some text from when he is eating: “んめエ‼︎ お前は食わねエのか？”
I’m only on the first chapter, but he’s the only character I see adding the random エ. Does it mean anything? Is it supposed to be some accent? What does it imply?
There is a graded reader from tadoku that is making me a little confused, and I just want to make sure it is actually an error. There is a sentence that goes 絵を描くのが好きです. In the text, the kanji for 描くappears with the reading か but in the dictionary, it says it is えが. Is it really an error in the text?
Thanks in advance!
