Somebody said this (I was the closest!) because he was close in guessing my age after I sang a song in Koebu. what does the "intyau" part mean?
This is Kansai speech.

「ちゃう」 = 「違う」
「ん」 = 「の」

Kansai---------------Kanto----------------Standard
近いんちゃう < 近いんじゃないの < 近いのでは ないの

"Great! I was the closest, wasn't I?"


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
