Explanation and Etymology - (だって) date
The word "だって" (datte) is an informal expression in Japanese that is used to justify, argue, or express surprise. It is commonly translated as "because," "but," or "after all" in English, depending on the context. For example, in a sentence like "だって、疲れているんだもん" (datte, tsukarete irun da mon), which means "But, I am tired!", "だって" serves to emphasize or explain the reason behind the feeling of tiredness.
Grammatically, "だって" functions as a casual conjunction, especially in everyday and informal conversations, where the speaker wants to express a feeling of frustration, surprise, or justify something. It can be used to introduce a reason, an objection, or even an excuse. In many cases, the expression appears at the beginning of a sentence as a form of protest or defense, as in "だって、知らなかったもん" (datte, shiranakatta mon), which means "But, I didn't know!".
Furthermore, "だって" can appear to reinforce an opinion or an argument in lighter debates, creating a tone of conversation that is more emotional or spontaneous. Its use is especially common among children or in contexts where communication is more relaxed and expressive. Therefore, it is an essential element for understanding colloquial Japanese language and the emotional nuances in informal dialogues.
