Anta

Do you know Shimura ken? He is one of the most popular comedians in Japan for more than two decades. I would watch his shows when I was a kid. I found this video starring Shimura Ken on Youtube.

 

Between 8 and 13 seconds of the video, the woman in her kimono says, "Anta! Anta, ikanaide!"

Anta is an interjection, meaning "you." It's an informal word.

Anta =  あんた

Ikanaide means, "Don't go!" or "Don't leave me!"  

Ikanaide = いかないで = 行かないで

 

His comedy is kind of stupid, but still funny. Hope you are not eating something right now.

I was able to watch some of Shimura-san's shows on DVD. They were those of him and the Drifters. Although I'm not very good in speaking Nihongo, I still find him very funny. :)
