When you're speaking Danish, you can use the word alligevel to mean 'anyway' or 'nevertheless'.
It's super useful when you want to add something that might seem a bit contradictory or unexpected after what you've just said.
Think of it as saying 'even so' or 'in spite of that'.
It helps your sentences flow nicely and adds a natural touch to your Danish.
When using alligevel at a B2 level, you're looking to express a stronger sense of 'anyway' or 'nevertheless' that often implies a slight contradiction or an unexpected outcome. It can be used to emphasize that something happens or is true despite a preceding statement or circumstance.
For instance, if someone says, "It's raining, so we shouldn't go for a walk," you might reply, "Jeg vil alligevel gå en tur" (I will go for a walk anyway), highlighting your intention despite the rain. It's about persisting or an outcome occurring contrary to what might be expected.
When using "alligevel," it often implies that despite something previously mentioned, a particular action or outcome still occurs. It can also add a sense of defiance or insistence. For instance, if someone says it's raining but you decide to go for a walk "alligevel," it means you're going despite the rain.
It's a versatile word that can convey a slight shift in thought or a continuation of an action contrary to expectations. Sometimes, it can be used to soften a statement or to bring a conversation back to a previous point.

§ alligevel: Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Many English speakers learning Danish find words like 'alligevel' a bit tricky. It’s not just a direct translation of 'anyway' or 'nevertheless.' The nuance often gets lost, leading to common mistakes. Let’s break down where learners often go wrong and how to fix it.
§ Mistake 1: Using 'alligevel' when 'anyway' means 'in any case' or 'regardless' of something minor.
In English, we often use 'anyway' to brush off a minor point or to move on. For example, 'I didn't really like the movie, but it was cheap anyway.' In Danish, 'alligevel' often carries more weight, implying a stronger contrast or concession. If the 'anyway' is more like 'in any case' or 'regardless,' other Danish words might fit better, or you might rephrase.
Det regnede, men vi tog alligevel ud. (It rained, but we went out anyway/nevertheless.)
Here, 'alligevel' works because there's a clear contrast: rain versus going out. If you just want to say 'in any case' or 'regardless,' you might use phrases like 'i hvert fald' or 'uanset hvad.'
§ Mistake 2: Forgetting its position in the sentence.
'Alligevel' is an adverb, and in Danish, adverbs often follow a specific order in sentences. It usually comes after the verb in main clauses and before the verb in sub-clauses (although there are nuances). English 'anyway' is more flexible.
Jeg havde ikke tid, men jeg kom alligevel. (I didn't have time, but I came anyway.)
Placing 'alligevel' at the very beginning of a sentence to introduce a contrast, like you might do with 'Nevertheless,' is possible but less common and can sound a bit formal. It's often inserted mid-sentence.
- Bad example
- Alligevel, det var en god film. (Sounds a bit off if you just mean 'Anyway, it was a good movie.')
§ Mistake 3: Overusing it when a simpler conjunction or rephrasing would work.
Sometimes, learners use 'alligevel' to try and connect ideas when a simpler conjunction like 'men' (but) or 'dog' (however, yet) would be more natural, or even just rephrasing the sentence. 'Alligevel' often implies a more significant counterpoint than a simple 'but.'
- Example of 'men' (but)
- Jeg er træt, men jeg skal arbejde. (I am tired, but I have to work.) - No strong need for 'alligevel' here.
Det var svært, men hun gjorde det alligevel. (It was difficult, but she did it anyway/nevertheless.)
Here, 'alligevel' emphasizes the overcoming of the difficulty, adding a layer of meaning that 'men' alone wouldn't capture.
§ Mistake 4: Not grasping the 'despite that' or 'even so' nuance.
'Alligevel' is very good at conveying 'despite that' or 'even so.' If you're trying to express that something happened or is true despite a preceding statement, 'alligevel' is often your friend. Learners sometimes miss this strong sense of concession.
Han var syg, men han kom alligevel til festen. (He was sick, but he came to the party anyway/nevertheless.)
The 'alligevel' here highlights that his sickness didn't prevent him from coming – a clear 'despite that' situation.
§ Summary for using 'alligevel'
- Don't use it if 'anyway' just means 'in any case' or to move on without a strong contrast.
- Mind its position in the sentence; it's often mid-sentence.
- Don't overuse it; 'men' or 'dog' might be better for simpler contrasts.
- Embrace its 'despite that' or 'even so' meaning to express concessions.
Like many words that seem straightforward, 'alligevel' has its own Danish flavor. Practice with examples, and soon you'll be using it like a native speaker!

neutralSo verwendest du es
Alligevel is an adverb that means 'anyway' or 'nevertheless'. It's used to introduce a statement that contrasts with what has just been said or implied. It often appears at the end of a clause or sentence, but can also be placed after the verb. Examples: * Jeg er træt, men jeg vil alligevel gå en tur. (I am tired, but I will go for a walk anyway.) * Han regnede med at blive hjemme, men han tog alligevel med til festen. (He expected to stay home, but he went to the party nevertheless.) * Det regnede, men vi hyggede os alligevel. (It rained, but we had fun anyway.) * Jeg har travlt, men jeg finder alligevel tid. (I am busy, but I will still find time.)
A common mistake is to confuse 'alligevel' with 'dog' or 'imidlertid'. While they can sometimes be used similarly, 'alligevel' often implies a stronger sense of contrast or a decision made despite an obstacle. 'Dog' is often softer and can mean 'however' or 'though'. 'Imidlertid' means 'however' or 'meanwhile' and is often used to introduce a new contrasting idea or to indicate a temporal contrast. * Incorrect: Jeg er træt, men jeg vil dog gå en tur. (This isn't necessarily wrong, but 'alligevel' emphasizes the 'despite being tired' aspect more strongly.) * Incorrect: Han regnede med at blive hjemme, men han tog imidlertid med til festen. (While grammatically correct, 'imidlertid' feels a bit more formal and less focused on the 'against expectations' aspect than 'alligevel'.)
