  • In Osaka and surrounding areas, attaches to -masu stem.
  • In Kyoto and surrounding areas, such as Nara and Shiga, attaches to -a inflection of verb; with vowel stems, takes epenthetic -ya-
    • toor-u (to pass) → toora-haru. ik-u (to go) → ika-haru.
    • mi-ru (to see) → mi-haru or mi-ya-haru. i-ru (to be) → i-haru or i-ya-haru. suru (to do) → shi-haru or shi-ya-haru. kuru (to come) → ki-haru or ki-ya-haru.
  • After て form of verb, sometimes て changes た, is equivalent to irassharu: kangaete haru or kangaeta haru (= kangaete irassharu).
  • 〜はる can in turn take ます for additional politeness, yielding 〜はります, and other polite endings such as 〜んです, yielding 〜はるんです.
