McDonald's in Japan: Mac vs. Makudo!?
In Japan, McDonald's has two nicknames depending on where you are:
🍔 Kansai (Osaka area): Makudo
🍔 Kanto (Tokyo area): Mac
💬 This can cause funny misunderstandings!
😅 A Common Mistake:
👭 A (from Kansai) and B (from Kanto) are friends meeting up...
🗣️ B：「マックの前で会おう！」
“Let’s meet in front of Mac!”
🗣️ A：「OK〜！」
“Okay!”
⏳【その後 / Later...】
🗣️ B：「今どこ？」
“Where are you now?”
🗣️ A：「マックの前にいるよ〜」
“I’m in front of Mac!”
🗣️ B：「え？私もマックだよ！ほんとに？」
“Me too! Really?”
🗣️ A：「うん、メイクのお店『MAC』の前だよ！」
“Yeah, in front of the makeup store MAC!”
🗣️ B：「ちがう！マクドナルドのことだよ！！」
“No! I meant McDonald’s!!”
🗣️ A：「あー！マクドか！ごめん！すぐ行く！」
“Ahh! You meant Makudo! Sorry, I’m coming now!”
🧠 Try asking your Japanese friends:
「マック？それともマクド？」
You might find out where they’re from!
