Can someone explain かんーわええのぅ


I was reading some comments on [this Youtube
video](https://youtu.be/E9tuO9lsrXc) and this comment in particular had a
bunch of likes:

かんーわええのぅ。

I looked it up and it translates as "I don't know" on Google Translate.

Can someone explain this one to me? I looked up the parts like かん on Jisho but
it still doesn't make much sense. I just started learning so I'm probably just
missing something basic.




> **かんーわええのぅ。。** 鼻水までもが愛おしく見える。世界いち **かわいいよ** ー。

They meant 「かわいいな。」/「かわいいなあ。」, "Wow that's cute." They wrote it in an
emphatic, lengthened, and nonstandard (dialectal or classic) way. (な/なあ
indicates 詠嘆/exclamation. Related post
[here](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/80684/9831).)

(What they meant is also clear from the last part of their comment, 「かわいいよー。」)

いい often changes to ええ in western dialects. Related:

[this](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/53231/9831).

The のぅ is the sentence-ending particle / 終助詞「のう」. See
[デジタル大辞泉](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%AE%E3%81%86-596155). (Don't confuse
this with [終助詞「の」](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%AE-596099).) Please see
also [this](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/12106/9831) and
[this](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/27433/9831). It corresponds to
standard/modern な、なあ or ね、ねえ. (デジタル大辞泉 says:
`近代以降は「ね」「ねえ」「なあ」が一般化し、現在では主に、方言として西日本で用いられる。`) This のう is still heard in some
western dialects, but it can also sound old-fashioned and is often used as
[老人語/old man's
speech](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/search?q=%E8%80%81%E4%BA%BA%E8%AA%9E),
a kind of [役割語/role
language](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/search?q=%E5%BD%B9%E5%89%B2%E8%AA%9E)
in fiction (and this may be why someone has responded to it 「おじいちゃん目線ｗ」).
