So, I've come across the phrase やばたにえん online a couple of times, and I can't
seem to find what it means. Multiple online translators fail to give me a
translation, and searching on google for the answer only returnes this page:
<https://fastjapan.com/en/p207796> . It says that it is a deviation of やばい and
that it can also be used with other adjectives like つらい into つらたにえん.

My question is, what does this ～たにえん suffix mean, how it's built, and when do
I use it?

やばたにえん(yabatanien) explanation?
やばたにえん is described in [this Nicopedia
entry](http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E3%82%84%E3%81%B0%E3%81%9F%E3%81%AB%E3%81%88%E3%82%93).
This is a net meme and you don't have to take it seriously. ～たにえん itself is an
almost meaningless "suffix" which was coined arbitrarily because it sounded
like ながたにえん (永谷園, a famous food company). Someone felt simple やばい is too
uninteresting, and started to say [やばたん](https://meaning.jp/posts/895), and
then やばたにえん, hoping it will sound cute or funny. Technically speaking, this
may be seen as an attempt to create a new diminutive or augmentative.

This word will probably be forgotten within 5 years, and I don't think I'll
ever use it myself. This word is not something you try to use intentionally.
If you're a type of person who needs to use this, you'll learn how to use it
without asking here.

answer
Net forums do this all the time. It's like in English, if instead of saying
"that's awesome!", you said "that's awesomesauce!". The suffix really means
nothing, and they're just trying to be humorous. If you want to have a deeper
understanding of the joke, you need to do some research into the origins of
the phrase. [Nico Nico's net slang dictionary](http://dic.nicovideo.jp) can be
a useful resource sometimes. Googling for "word/phrase 由来" could also yield
some results. More often than not, you'll find that it started as a joke on
2chan, a text/image board.
