What kind of conjugation is 謝んなくった？


I'm playing through Toradora right now, and there's a scene where Ryuuji
apologizes to his mom because he can't remember anything. She responds with
「ううん、謝んなくったっていいんだよ。」

I understand she's saying don't apologize, but I've never seen an ending with
なくった before. Is this some kind of colloquial contraction?




> 「謝{あやま} **ん** なく **ったって** いい **ん** だよ。」

Needless to say, this is colloquial speech which uses what I call the "two
distinct hallmarks" of colloquial speech -- **「ん」 and the small 「っ」**.

Now, watch the hallmarks disappear instantly as I put the phrase into the
"dictionary" form.

> 「謝らなくてもいいのですよ」

In Kanto (and even a larger area because of TV), 「ら」 often changes to 「ん」 in
**negative verb forms** in colloquial speech.

謝 **ら** ない to 謝 **ん** ない、わか **ら** ない to わか **ん** ない、太{ふと} **ら** ない to 太 **ん**
ない, etc.

「たって/ったって」 is also a very common 'word' which should be in any free online
dictionaries. Not sure about bilingual dictionaries as I do not use them
(because I do not trust them much).

「～～たって/ったって」 means 「～～ても」 or 「～～たとしても」= **_"even if"_**. Thus, 「謝んなくったって」 is
in the concessive conditional form. The speaker is offering a concession to
the listener.

「ったって」 sounds slightly more emphatic than 「たって」. That is the power of the
small 「っ」 to begin with. With double small 「っ」, 「ったって」 would naturally sound
very colloquial -- even to the point of sounding slangy.
