A simple Japanese phrase that people in Tokyo and Osaka take completely differently

http://en.rocketnews24.com/2016/10/04/iketara-iku-a-simple-japanese-phrase-that-people-in-tokyo-and-osaka-take-completely-differently/

let’s look at what iketara iku literally means. Iku is Japanese for “go.” All Japanese verbs end in a “-u,” and changing that to “-etara” adds the meaning to “if I can,”

so iketara iku means “I’ll go if I can go,” or, more naturally, “I’ll be there if I can make it.”
