Kiitsukemasshi

When people are asked about the Kanazawa dialect, the first thing they usually think of is the suffix -shimasshi (which replaces the imperative form -shinasai from standard Japanese.)
　Lots of hoardings and road signs around the city feature the -shimasshi expression, and it’s part of the everyday language of Kanazawa.(From the Kanazawa city government websites (Iinetto) )

　This “Kiitsukemasshi” is Kanazawa dialect for “Ki wo tsukete kudasai ne,” which means “Please take care” when you encounter various events and circumstances that you might run into in the future. The “Kii” part also sounds like “key,” and the pamphlet contains key knowhow and mindsets that we hope will be useful to you.
