À propos de たって

Français

Japonais

たって is a casual structure that carries the same meaning as 'ても' or 'でも', and can be used with a wide variety of words. Common translations include 'even if (A)', 'even though (A)', or 'no matter how (A)'.

In the case of verbs, たって conjugates in the standard way that the た past-tense form usually would.

For い-Adjectives, たって attaches to the conjugative く-form.

For nouns and な-Adjectives, た will change to だ, and だって will then be used with the stem noun or adjective.

Fun-fact

Although たって is widely considered a casual form of ても, it originally stems from たとて, which is a combination of the auxiliary verb た, and the particle とて, which itself is thought to be an old-fashioned abbreviation of と言(い)っても. In this way, the modern abbreviation of たって still reflects the original extended nuance of たと言(い)っても 'even if (A) is said, (B)'.

In the sentence

どんなに押（お）したくたって、この赤（あか）いボタンを押（お）してはダメ。

how come using たい directly is okay here? Shouldn’t one have to use たがる since it’s about presumed feelings of another person? Or does the たって-construction make it okay because it itself implies some uncertainity?

The たい grammar point explains how it can be used for “I” or “you”.
たい | Japanese Grammar SRS

[たい belongs to a group of ‘personal’ adjectives, that is used to describe the speaker’s/writer’s wishes/desires (first person) or the listener’s wishes/desires (second person)]
