Question about Japanese Language
#10
ShiKage Wrote:Huh? Dialect or false? lol I know that '-han' is kansai dialect, but I've never heard of '-tan.'

-tan is just for moe purposes. You usually see it in anime as referring to cute or young characters, and it's sometimes used IRL for mascots and such.

I think there's a section on -tan, -chama, etc. in that Wikipedia article linked above.
