Japan has many language dialects.
In different region, different words are used for same meaning.
This time, I will introduce Osaka dialect (大阪弁-おおさかべん)
In Japanese, when we want to say “Nice!” “Good!” or when we want to praise somebody, we use ii ne! (いいね!).

(Don’t worry you can also use “ii ne” in Osaka)

It is very practical word.
