Contrast between male and female speech

 In japan,we have a lot of different ways of using language. For example, men and women use different word endings. Men use "neeyo" or "neeyona". It sounds more masculine. An on the other hand, women speak with lengthen the end of their sentences.
 An other example, men say "umai" and women say "oishii". Those words mean "delicious" in English. we have two ways of saying between men and women even one word.
 When we are children, we are taught that we should be careful in speech. Women need to speak more feminine and men need to speak more masculine. However, nowadays, there is few difference between men and women. Especially, teengirls use a male speaking structure. Using masculine words give people negative impression. Speaking with perfect diction is the most important thing. Though we have a different male and female speech trait in my country.
