| | darg | this looks to me like 2 different usages- って as a contraction of と or という, and って as a contraction of でも, both of which are more informal then their counterparts. | | | bamboo4 | I never heard of って as a contraction of でも. | | | darg | For example, なんでも can become なんだって and やっても can become やったって in everyday speech without changing the meaning. The best way I could think of to say it was to call it でも. | | | nnskage | why is it sometimes there is no っ in front of て in some of the sentences i see? Any rules to how it is used? | | | ami | I understood this one, but what does it mean when someone says "。。ってのは(rest of the sentence)"？ | | | KyleGoetz | @ami I'll have to use Romaji because my computer won't switch to Japanese for some reason right now.
~ tte no wa
is functionally equivalent to
~ to iu no wa
in that it means "~ is defined as", basically. For example:
"Taberu" tte no wa tabemono wo kuti ni ireru koto de aru.
"Eating" means "putting food into your mouth."
I personally find it more pleasing to say "~tte wa" without the "no", or just "~tte". | | | shiho-chan | so in：
あんたが志穂をたぶらかしてた男ってのはわかってんのよ！
means:
"you are the man who was tempting shiho means i understand", im not sure if thats right. | | | shiho-chan | @nnskage
i think you mean the ~te form of verbs, not the contraction って | | | Ashish Joshi | @nnskage
yes friend there is a rule for the usage of って and て .
てis used when the following verb is used with ん sound.
For ex-あれはなんてよむんですか.
And, って is used when the following verb does not consist of the ん sound.
For ex-あそこ で みどりぐちって かいて あります ね. | | |
