Are there any special Nagano sayings? 
|
mmm, there is nothing I can think of...
especially because I am not from Nagano original,
but I haven't heard any local people say any special sayings.
It's not about greeting, but
once they said something to me but I had no idea what they were talking about was...
"You have ZUKU, Mayumi!"
I went like.... ???? zuku?
She said tha meant that I had some "guts" or"full of power" to do something.
She told me that I can call a person who has no guts (who is too lazy and saying "oh no, no, no, I couldn't do that" "I wouldn't do that" "Oh it's too hard for me" "Why don't you do that I will just watch"... )
ZUKU-NASHI (means person without ZUKU, NASHI means "nothing" or "none of XXX" , but NASHI also means "Japanese pears" mmm yum.)
