Lucky kids, when I was in daycare/preschool all we got were blankets :(. Those burl carpets didn't feel good to sleep on.

This'll get complicated.

Touhoku is the northern area of the main Japanese island. It's far less densely populated than the south and as a result has a feeling of being the rural area of Japan. You can think of it as the Midwest of Japan.

The local dialect is Touhoku-ben and one of it's features is the blurring of the sounds of い and う (i and u). ず, づ, じ, and ぢ all sound exactly alike in Touhoku-ben (zu). This is compared to Tokyo-ben, which is regarded as the "Standard Japanese" dialect, where ず and づ sound the same (zu), じ and ぢ sound the same (ji), but do not sound like each other.

です is the existence copula in Japanese. It's equivalent to the verb "to be". A more informal version is だ.

A volitional and presumptive suffix -be or -ppe is widely used in the region. It is a transformation of -beki, a conjugated form of an archaic suffix -beshi. When -be is preceded by a verb ending in -ru, the connection -ppe is used

So when Hinata says, "The heck is this, dappe..."

It's likely gone through these steps:

1) Standard Polite Formal Japanese: 何ですか。 (Nan desu ka.) "I wonder what this is?"
2) Polite Japanese: 何でしょうか。 (Nan deshou ka.) "What is this?"
3) Informal Japanese: 何だろうか。(Nan darou ka.) "What's this?"
4) Drop the question particle (It's implied by -darou already.): 何だろう。(Nan darou.)
5) Apply Touhoku-ben: 何だっぺ。 (Nandappe.) "Wot in tarnation?"

Easy!
