Gikyolog vol.7

I have few things to write here these days... I met two friends and drank together tonight. One is a British from Hong Kong, and I asked a question, "In Kantonease, is there a case that a person says his/her own name instead of "I". He answered "never".

Among some japanese women and some children, there is such a case. For example, a lady, whose name is Keiko, use it as the first person.

"Keiko wa wakatteru yo.(けいこは分かってるよ)"
this is,
"Keiko (means "I") understand."
