À propos de だって
だって is a colloquial combination of the auxiliary verb だ, and the adverbial particle とて in Japanese (a combination of the particles と, and て). It has a wide range of uses, but primarily exclaims that something is the 'premise' for whatever has been said, or will be said next. This 'exclamation' is usually translated as 'I heard', 'cause', 'but', or 'even if'. The meaning that will be conveyed is determined primarily by where だって appears in a sentence.
When placed at the beginning of a sentence, だって highlights the speaker's (usually) displeasure about something that has just been said, before following it with an explanation or counterpoint. This だって is quite similar to でも.
At the end of a sentence, だって is used to express hearsay, in a similar way to 'I heard that', or 'it was said that', in English. In these cases it will be preceded by なん. なんだって always appears after a noun, or a phrase that has been nominalized (with の or こと).
Caution
When used directly after a noun, だって has a similar nuance to the だって that appears at the beginning of sentences (emphasizing what has come before it, in order to explain further). This comes across as でも, and may not be used with なん.
Fun Fact
The adverbial particle とて itself is an abbreviation of expressions like と言って, and と思って. だとて (the full construction) may also be used, but is almost always replaced by だって, as it is far easier to say.
Fun Fact
When used at the beginning of a sentence, もん or もの will often come at the end of that sentence, in order to strengthen the opinion given by the speaker. This is more commonly used by women and children.
- 私もそんなもの食べたくないよ。だって、不味いもん。I also don't want to eat something like that. It's because it tastes bad.

今日は家から出ません。だって、今日は暑いもの。I am not going to leave my house today. Cause it is hot today.

Got it. A hint would help though (“more casual than this”)

Example sentence question:
父親だって、たまには<一人
But the help page says that I should have (なん) before a noun, and when I try that it says “try removing something from the front.”
There are parentheses on the help page, but I’m confused because of the linkage between the noun and the expression.

Hey @larrydeluca !
なん will be added between a noun and だって when it is used at the end of a sentence to express hearsay.
Since this だって comes in the beginning of the sentence, adding なん would sound unnatural since this is not expressing hearsay.
I hope this helps!
