So I was talking to this girl, and she used the って in a rather odd way (at
least one that I'm not acquainted with), I gave it some research and found out
that って can replace は giving some kind of softer tone to the sentence.

Like 「マギーはかわいいね」 would become 「マギーってかわいいね」.

So the page where I found it was so vague, and it didn't clarify when to use
it this way or anything.

So, could anyone help me with this one?

Thanks in advance.

question
particles particle-は particle-って
Replacing は with って
It's used to emphasize a word.

> アラビア[語]{ご}って、[難]{むずか}しくない？
>
> Arabiago tte, muzukashikunai?
>
> Arabic, you say? Isn't that difficult?

Or it's used as a type of verbal quotation marks used for direct quotes and
indirect quotes:

> すぐ[来]{き}ますって。
>
> Sugu kimasu tte.
>
> He said he'd come soon.
>
> お[母]{かあ}さんに[聞]{き}いたら、「だめだ」って。
>
> Okāsan ni kiitara, "Dame da" tte.
>
> When I asked my mom, she said "no."
