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 ~~ or ~and the verb conjugation ~.
Example (like ~):
> No matter what you say, what's impossible is impossible.
>
> Even if you start now, it's already hopeless, isn't it?
Example (like ~):
> Even elementary school kids know that.
>
> I don't want to do that, either
