がっていう
gatte iu
JA
A colloquial Japanese grammatical contraction, a shortened form of という, used to quote something someone said, introduce a topic, or express an opinion or fact in casual speech.
彼がっていうことはつまり嘘だったんだ。
What he said basically ended up being a lie.
Etymology
It developed as an informal contraction of the Japanese phrase という (to iu) through natural phonological change in casual spoken Japanese, where the 'to' sound reduced and merged with the preceding consonant.
Memory Aid
Remember that this is a casual short form: when you're speaking quickly, 'to iu' blends into 'gatte iu' for informal conversation.
