"~み:~MI" is used to express "try to do something" in very casual form like as "やってみ:YATTE-MI;Try to do it", "食ってみ:KUTTE-MI; try t eat it" or "読んでみ:YONDE-MI;try to read it".

below are the dialect.

>そったら恐ろしげなもんじゃねえよ。
そんなに恐ろしげなものではないよ。(in standard form)
it is not such a scary (looking) thing.

>いつの間にかいねくなっちまうんだ。
いつの間にかいなくなってしまうんだ。(in standard form)
It disappears unawarely.

>たんと おあがり。
たくさん食べなさい。(in standard form)
Eat it as much as you can.

"たんと:TANTO;many/much" is not dailect but it is old men's word according to my japanese dictionary.


Language makes Culture and Culture makes Language.
