Informal 光が死んだ夏 Book Club - an attempt at dictionaring 関西弁 B)

[shablul]

needs looking into:

the use of と as some in between particle
not sure how to explain it

@eefara

So for that first picture, と is acting as part of the negation requet conjugation for 言う . And for the second, 思っとった is a contraction for 思っていた, though I’m still looking for a formal grammar write-up on that one.

should be noted that there is a lot of use of と in places where it would have been て so that’s also a factor
