Use of かて as "even"


> しゃあない。お前かて人間やで。

I get the meaning of the sentence, but I'm wondering, is there a nuance behind
かて? For instance, between お前も人間やで。and お前とて and お前でさえ ?




かて is Kansai dialect. It is difficult to translate into English, but the usual
meaning is similar to "even if...". It is used in place of the standard
Japanese particles ~でも、~も or ~さえ、and the verb conjugation ~ても.

Example (like ~ても):

> そんな事ゆうたかて、出来へんもんは出来へんねん。 No matter what you say, what's impossible is
> impossible.
>
> 今からやったかて、無理ちゃう？ Even if you start now, it's already hopeless, isn't it?

Example (like ~さえ):

> そんなん小学生かて知ってるわ。 Even elementary school kids know that.
>
> あたしかていややわ、そんなん。 I don't want to do that, either
