I think I remember some characters in steins;gate ending sentences with お or だお. What does it mean?

Do you have any example sentences? (Please?) – Earthliŋ♦ May 19 '16 at 17:46

I don't have any examples now, but I can look for some when I get home. I mostly remember this expression being used by Daru. – ignorantFid May 19 '16 at 17:51

2個人的には「だよ」由来説には疑問で、むしろ一人ツッコミの「…(お」のある種の誤読由来だと思われ。 – user4092 May 20 '16 at 11:50
I'm pretty sure that it came from ~だよ
.
This is just my opinion but by using ~だお
instead of ~だよ
for a character, you can make him/her sound like a person who is cute, laid back, easy-going, girly, ほんわか、萌え系、のんびり、..., etc.
I think that these characters often don't speak clearly or speak like a little boy/girl just to create the characteristics listed above so y
is dropped in dayo
and it sounds like dao
.
