虽然...却... (suīrán... què...) - Although... yet...
Processing keyword: 虽然...却... (suīrán... què...) - Although... yet...
The construction 虽然...却... is commonly used in Mandarin to express a contrast between two clauses. It's akin to saying "although... yet..." in English, where the first clause presents a situation or condition, and the second clause expresses an opposing view or result.
The basic format is:
虽然 + Clause 1 +,却 + Clause 2
Part | Meaning | Example Clause |
---|---|---|
虽然 (suīrán) | Although | 虽然天气很冷 (although the weather is very cold) |
句子 (jùzi) | yet | 却我们仍然去爬山 (yet we still went hiking) |
The use of 虽然...却... reflects a common aspect of Chinese culture where indirect expression is prevalent. It allows for providing an opinion without being overly confrontational.
Using this structure can make statements sound more humble or polite, softening the impact of a contrasting opinion. In contrast, using "但是" may sound more assertive.
