The -jai sentence ending particle


I'm not sure if I'm just imagining things or if I remembered things wrong,

but is there some kind of colloquial dialect where sentences end in "-jai?"




You are not imagining things. (The tougher) Kansai male speakers do say
「～～～じゃい!」 in colloquial speech. Only the 「い」part is a particle -- an emphatic
sentence or phrase ender. And じゃ ＝ だ.

The Standard counterpart would be だよ or だい.

The Kanto countepart would be だい or でぇ.
