During an exchange in which a character asks another to participate in an
event, the other character replies さんかで。(I'm writing it in hiragana 'cause I'm
still not sure of the kanjis.) Context-wise the only possible meaning for that
phrase considering the reactions of the characters is "I'm not participating",
and I checked the subs to be sure and that's what they went with as well.
Going with that interpretation, the only way I could make sense of it is if it
was written as 参加出, but I can't find an example of it online, and that worries
me. I also tried looking for it in plain hiragana, I tried looking up synonyms
and quasi-synonyms of 参加しない, and nothing. Is this normal?

This character doesn't even have weird speaking patterns or anything, they're
just kind of aloof, so I can't just mark this up as "anime shenanigans" and
get on with my life. I haven't learned a language like Japanese before, so it
makes me really anxious that I can encounter phrases/words like this and not
be able to find an example for them online...

Transcript of the conversation, just in case:

> Character A: そうとなったら、早速セッチングするで！  
>  **Character B: さんかで**  
>  Character A: 何でや？来いや！  
>  Character B: (explains why they can't go/participate)

(Anime is Sakura Card Captor Clear Card, ep07)

I heard this word/compound in an anime and I can't find a single example of it online, am I understanding it correctly? (参加出）
