What does the word 「なりたかねえ」 mean?


It is said by a boy who was straddling on a running pig among other of them.

> せんべいに **なりたかねえ** やつあ おとなしくわきへ どいてろっ。

I think it would mean 「なりたくない」 or 'not to become'. Is it changed because of
dialectal speaking?




「なりた **かねえ** 」＝「なりた **くはない** 」

The former is an informal and mostly-masculine way of saying the latter
(dictionary form) around Tokyo. One might safely call it the "tough guy
speech". Guys just talk like that around Tokyo when they hang around with
close friends.

Calling this kind of speech old or outdated is sheer nonsense. It is 100%
current. I have lived in central Tokyo over 25 years, so I know it is current
and **_real_**.

The ない-to-ねえ change in Kanto is "famous" even among Japanese-learners these
days (and it has been explained many times right here on SE) so that should
require no explanation.

Thus, 「なりたかねえ」 means " ** _to not want to become_** " just as 「なりたくはない」 does.

> 「せんべいになりた **かねえ** やつ **あ** おとなしくわきへ どい **てろっ** 。」

in the "dictionary" form, would be:

> 「せんべいになりた **くはない** やつ **は** おとなしくわきへ どい **ていろ** 。」

Either way, the sentence literally means:

> "Those who don't want to become _senbei_ (flat rice crackers), step aside
> obediently!"
