although; even though; despite
Used to show a small contrast with the idea that comes before it, similar to "although" or "even though".
Padron ng paggamit:
..., albeit [adjective/adverb/noun phrase]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners often try to use "albeit" exactly like "although" at the beginning of a sentence with a full clause, for example: *"Albeit it was raining, we went out."* This sounds unnatural in modern English; use *"Although it was raining, we went out"* instead. Another mistake is using "albeit" with a full clause when a shorter phrase is more natural. *"He agreed, albeit he was tired"* is grammatical but formal; in most situations, *"He agreed, although he was tired"* or *"He agreed, albeit tired"* is preferred.

although (The most common general synonym; sounds more neutral and is used in more situations.)
|
even though (Stronger than "albeit" and often used with full clauses; sounds less formal.)
|
though (Very common in speech and writing; much less formal and often used at the end of a clause.)
Mga kasalungat
because (Introduces a reason rather than a contrast, so it connects ideas in the opposite logical way.)
|
so (Introduces a result or consequence instead of a limiting or contrasting detail.)
