Long time no see! How have you been?
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.
Usually written in kana; the kanji spelling 八十日目 is a dialectal ateji and rarely used.
Ateji spelling used in the Nagoya dialect; not common in modern writing.
Mixed kanji-kana spelling; occasionally seen but less common than the full kana form.
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.
