  Yea it’s definitely a dialect thing but a rather common one. I don’t know where it is spoken most tho…

  I mean it only works with nouns that are not ending on vowels. But I heard this from people all over Germany. Mostly in a mocking way, like someone was eating too much and complaining about stomach pain:
  “Oh, tut dir der Bauchi weh?”

    I’ve only ever really heard it for a handful of very specific nouns, like Maus -> Mausi as an affectionate nickname

      I just updated my answer with more examples but I think you are right with the nickname thing
