52
Q

但是

A

Pinyin: dàn-shì

English: but

*the standard, neutral “but” in Chinese. It sounds more serious than 可是 (kěshì) and 不过 (búguò), therefore it appears more often in writing and formal speech situations (e.g. TV news, lectures). If you are writing an essay, that’s the word you should choose.

但是 (dànshì) can be used in conversational Chinese as well. In that case, the “but” is very strong as it indicates the two statements are totally incompatible. Typically, you would use 但是 (dànshì) to emphasize the contrary, or present your argument or refusal.

In spoken Chinese, 但是 (dànshì) is often shortened to 但 (dàn) to sound more concise.*

Examples:
1. 中文很有意思，但是太难了(Zhōng-wén hěn yǒu-yì-si, dàn-shì tài nán le)。
Chinese is quite interesting, but really hard.
2. 中文很有意思，但太难了(Zhōng-wén hěn yǒu-yì-si, dàn tài nán le)。
Chinese is quite interesting, but really hard.

53

虽然

A

English: although

54
Q

虽然… …但是

A

Pinyin: suī-rán… …dàn-shì

English: “although……yet”

Example:
他虽然是外国人，但是中文很好 (Tā suī-rán shì wài-guó rén, dàn-shì zhōng-wén hěn hǎo)。
Although he is a foreigner, his Chinese is very good.
