東京方言
The grammar of the Nagoya dialect shows intermediate characteristics between eastern Japanese (including standard Tokyo dialect) and western Japanese (including Kansai dialect). For example, Nagoya dialect uses eastern copula da instead of western "ya" (to be precise, in traditional Nagoya dialect); western negative verb ending -n and -sen instead of eastern -"nai"; western verb oru (to exist [humans/animals]) instead of eastern "iru". "Onbin" of verbs is same as eastern, but one of adjectives is same as western; for example, "eat quickly" becomes "hayoo kutte" in Nagoya dialect instead of eastern "hayaku kutte" and western "hayoo kuute".
