Awaji-ben vol.2: "Omossyoi."(おもっしょい。)="It's interesting!!"

I have thought I'd like to pick up at least one Awaji-ben in the blog since the last post in 27th Nov., but this is the second time to do it...

This time I try to pick up the Awaji-ben "Omossyoi." (おもっしょい。)

-interpretation: It's interesting.
-in standard Japanese: "O-mo-shi-ro-i."(おもしろい。)
-example conversation:
  A: "He is a really omossyoi man!"
 
You can listen to the real voice conversation click here. (provided by awajiben.net)

In Kansai area, people usually use not "Omossyoi" but "O-mo-ro-i"(おもろい).
There is a blog which a Minamiawaji living man has run the website with the title "Omossyoi Awaji-shima." You can see some videos of Awaji events on this website. Please check it!
