<div class='writeup-body'>The sentence ending particle よ in standard Japanese has 2 possible alternatives in 関西弁（かんさいべん）. These are わ, and で. わ and で are considered sentence ending particles themselves in 関西弁（かんさいべん）, and behave slightly differently to their standard Japanese counterparts. As replacements for よ, わ and で will express to the listener that something is being emphasized, or that new information is being conveyed. Either で or わ may be used at the end of a sentence in which new information is being conveyed. However, when preceded by a noun or な-Adjective, the regular combination of だよ (or ですよ) will be replaced with either やわ, or やで (や being the 関西弁（かんさいべん） equivalent of だ or です).<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>前（まえ）のトラックがデカすぎて信号（しんごう）が見（み）えへんわ。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>The truck in front of us is so big that I can't see the traffic lights.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>その鍋（なべ）暑（あつ）いで、気（き）をつけや！</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>That pot is hot, be careful.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'> 串（くし）カツはソースやろ。味噌（みそ）カツは嫌（きら）いやわ。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>Kushi-katsu should be sauce.

The primary difference between the standard Japanese わ, and the 関西弁（かんさいべん） わ is intonation. In 関西弁（かんさいべん） わ is said with a falling tone (and may be used by men or women), while the standard わ is said with a rising tone (and is almost exclusively used by women).<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>お腹（なか）がいっぱい過（す）ぎてもう食（たべ）べられないわ。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>I am so full and I can't any more.
