pronoun
Kansai dialect first-person pronoun, used by both men and women in casual settings. Equivalent to standard わたし or あたし, but with a distinct regional flavor.
わて、今日はもう帰るわ。
I'm going home now.
わての言うこと、聞いてくれへん？
Won't you listen to what I say?
Dialectal variant of わたし, with sound change typical of Kansai-ben. The exact historical derivation is uncertain.
