〜って
〜って means that; as for (casual). It is a JLPT N4 grammar point. 「〜って」 is a conversational form used like 「と」 or 「という」 to quote speech, name something, or bring up a topic. It sounds natural among friends, but more formal wording is better in polite settings. It can be followed by verbs like 「言いました」 or 「聞きました」, and it can also mark a topic.
Japanese sources describe it as 「くだけた引用や話題」.
