やっとかめだね、元気しとった?
Long time no see! How have you been?
あ、やっとかめ!最近どう?
Oh, it's been a while! How are things lately?
Standard Japanese equivalent; やっとかめ is the Nagoya dialect version with the same meaning.
Derived from the Nagoya dialect phrase 八十日目 (literally 'the 80th day'), implying a long interval. The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but it is used in the same way as standard 久しぶり.
