notes

• 「だって」 is the copula 「だ」 + 「って」
  • this 「って」 is a contraction of 「と言う」, not any sort of て form
  • ex: 「明日は晴れだって。」 means “(It is/Someone) said that tomorrow will be sunny.”
• 「だって」 can also be used to start a response to something someone else said in a contradictory way
  • the following statement does not deny the accuracy of the first statement, but gives contrary information
• 「だって」 can also be used to sort of say “even”
  • ex: 「彼は出来る。　私だって出来る。」
    • the second sentence can be read as “Say it were me, I can do.”
    • this is different from the も particle because it has a slightly negative connotation (ex: “Even I can do.”)
• 「それ」 means “that” and 「から」 means “because”, but 「それから」 means “from that”
  • 「ですから」 or 「だから」 is the way to say “because of that”
