あまい、からい、すい 柴崎友香 · 2026年11月4日
唐辛子の辛いも塩辛いも大阪弁では「からい」であり、塩気が強すぎる食べものを口にした瞬間に思い浮かぶのは「からっ」であり、人と話すときにも「しょっぱい」は江戸っ子っぽい響きがある気がして使いこなせていない。
In Osaka dialect, both the hot of chili peppers and the salty of saltiness are からい; the moment I put food that is too salty in my mouth, what comes to mind is "からっ"; and when talking with people, too, I feel that しょっぱい has the ring of a born-and-bred Edokko to it, so I haven't managed to use it comfortably.
っぽい attaches to the noun 江戸っ子 (a born-and-bred Tokyoite) and means "has the flavour of an Edokko". It is casual and impressionistic, which fits her hedge: she adds 響きがある気がして ("I feel it has the ring"). So she isn't claiming the word belongs to Tokyo, only that it sounds that way to her. Trap: after a verb stem, っぽい means "tends to" (忘れっぽい = forgetful), not "like X".
