So what’s the difference between かめへん ＆ かまへん?
Comment by mdchachi — September 15, 2006 #
Just checked with a Kansai friend. They say, basically, no difference, but this person in particular uses かまへん more often than かまへん。 Though, they stress that this only differs person to person.
So, gernally to answer your question… no difference between KAMAHEN, and KAMEHEN. However, many kansai people would use Kamahen.
