Barakamon Episode 12

かえってきてうりしか
Kaette kite urishika
Happy Yer Home

うれしい(ureshii) → うれしか(ureshika) → うりしか(urishika)

I hope for a sequel before child actors grow.

●こん部屋ば綺麗に片付けましょう!
 Kon heya ba kirei ni katazukemashou
― let's get this place sparklin' clean!

片付ける(katazukeru): put in order

Barakamon Episode 11

東京にいます (訳: よせおっ)
Tokyo ni imasu (Yoseo)
― I Am in Tokyo

This subtitle is different than usual, words within brackets is dialectal.
The original form is よそにいる(yoso ni iru).

よそ(other place)に(in)いる(be) → よそにおる(yoso ni oru) → よせおっ(yoseo)

The subtitle of episode 6 was "よそんもん(Yosonmon: Guys From Tokyo)."
For Naru and the islanders, the other place means Tokyo.

とっくの昔に届いてるよ。
 Tokku no mukashi ni todoiteru yo
― It arrived age ago.

Barakamon Episode 10

だっちいこで (訳: みんなで行こう)
Dacchi ikode (Minna de ikou)
― Let's go together

While Sensei was on the phone, Naru and Hina were singing a children's song with motion.
The folksong "でんでらりゅうば(dendera ryuu ba)" has been handed down in Nagasaki Prefecture.
On the lyrics, "来る(kuru: come)" is used to mean "行く(iku: go)" in Nagasaki dialect.
You can watch it from this youtube video.

●こっちに来てからインスピレーションが刺激されまくってな。
 Kocchi ni kite kara inspiration ga shigeki saremakutte na
― Ever since I've been here, I've been tingling with inspiration.

Barakamon Episode 9

おけがまくっちした (訳: 大怪我しそうになった)
Okega Makucchishita (Ookega shisouni natta)
― Was almost seriously injured

●鳴華
 Narukain shime
― Narukain deadline

"~院(in)" means a name of an art exhibition.

"〆(shime)" looks like a symbol, but is a special Kanji.
It often is written over the sealed flap of an envelope.
Also, it used to mean 締め, 絞め, and 占め.

Barakamon Episode 8

オンデ (念仏踊り)
Onde (Nenbutsu odori)
― Buddist chanting and dancing

Do you know what お盆(obon) is?
It is a Japanese Buddhist custom to welcome back the spirits of ancestors who return to their homes around the 15th of August.
I'd say it is similar to Halloween.
It is intriguing that there is a wide regional variation even in the same Japan.
Now, we can learn some names of insects in this episode.

蓮華
 renge
― china spoon

"蓮華" originally means lotus.
Because china spoon looks like a petal of lotus, it is called so.

Barakamon Episode 7

ひさんいを  訳: 高級な魚
Hisanio (koukyuu na sakana) 
― An expensive fish

I've given long-winded explanations of dialect.

自業自得だろ。
 Jigou-jitoku daro
Serves you right.

●旅行先までインドアなのか。
 Ryokou saki made indoor nano ka
― Guess He wants to be holed-up even on a trip...

[Example]
インドア派 ⇔ アウトドア派
― indoorsy ⇔ outdoorsy

●はい、こっが仕掛け
 Hai, ko gga shikake
Here's the fishing gear.

こっが[dialect] ←これが(kore ga)

[Brushup]
SPACE DANDY Episode18
○何か知らねぇか?穴場とか仕掛けとか。
  Nanka shiraneeka Anaba toka shikake toka
― Do you know anything about it? Like where to find them, or what tackle to use?

Barakamon Episode 6


よそんもん
Yosonmon
― Guys From Tokyo

I'm familiar with the dialect , so it is pleasant.

●何だよその対抗意識
  Nan da yo sono taikou ishiki
― Why so competitive?

建前的には。
  Tatemae teki ni ha
― For publicity's sake.

●こうやって爪楊枝でほじくって食べます。
  kouyatte tsumayouji de hojikutte tabemasu
― You dig it out with a needle like this, and eat it.

爪楊枝 exactly means toothpick.

It's amazing that Naru can eat it raw...
What kind of shellfish?
