Chin-chin (dialect)

Nov 4, 2015 12:31
Today, I'd like to explain a dialect "chin-chin" in Aichi Prefecture where I was born.

It represents that something is very hot, we use it in the following manner.

・The kettle is chin-chin.
・The tea is chin-chin.

This phrase came from a sound of a kettle's lid when water is boiling.

However, this is just a dialect, and it could become a different meaning in other areas.

Therefore, please use it with utmost caution.
ちんちん(方言)

今日は、私の地元である愛知県の方言「ちんちん」を紹介します。

「ちんちん」は何かがとても熱いことを表す言葉で、例えば次のように使います。

・やかんがちんちんだ。
・お茶ちんちんだね。

この言葉は、やかんなどが沸騰したときに蓋が鳴らす音に由来しています。

しかしこれは方言で、別の地方で使うと全く違う意味にとられる可能性があります。

そのため、使う際は細心の注意を払ってください。

I'm not sure if ちんちん is an onomatopoeic word (擬音語), but if it is, then the first sentence will look something like: "Today, I'd like to explain the meaning of an onomatopoeic word "chin-chin" that is widely used in Aichi Prefecture where I was born."

Thank you very much for the comment!
Technically, I think it is a mimetic word that is derived from an onomatopoeic word. But I also think it is a kind of onomatopoeic words, so your sentence is very helpful to me. Thank you :D
