How it's used
Locals almost always refer to the city simply as 大阪, omitting the 市 suffix in casual conversation. Using the full name 大阪市 sounds overly formal or like reading from a travel brochure or official document. It is common to add the particle 嘅 to describe things from there, such as 大阪嘅嘢食.
Examples
I will go to Osaka City for a trip next month.
