When you're speaking Danish at a B1 level, you're starting to connect ideas more smoothly. This is where words like "imidlertid" become really useful. It means "however" or "nevertheless" and helps you show a contrast or a surprising turn in what you're saying.
Think of it as a way to say, "This is true, but also this other thing is true." For example, you might say you like Danish weather, but "imidlertid," it can be quite cold in winter. It allows you to add a different perspective without completely negating your previous statement.

Wichtige Grammatik
Placing 'imidlertid' at the beginning of a sentence often emphasizes the contrast or concession being made. The verb then immediately follows 'imidlertid'.
Imidlertd er det vigtigt at huske... (However, it is important to remember...)
When 'imidlertid' is placed within a clause, it typically comes after the finite verb in main clauses, or after the subject and finite verb in subordinate clauses.
Han sagde, at han imidlertid var forhindret. (He said that he, however, was prevented.)
'Imidlertd' can also act as a conjunction, connecting two independent clauses, often preceded by a comma.
Det regnede, imidlertd tog vi afsted. (It was raining; however, we left.)
It is common to use 'imidlertid' to introduce a statement that contradicts or modifies a previous statement.
Jeg ville gerne hjælpe, imidlertid har jeg ikke tid. (I would like to help; however, I don't have time.)
While 'imidlertid' means 'however' or 'nevertheless', it can sometimes be translated as 'meanwhile' in older or more formal contexts, though this usage is less common now.
De ventede, imidlertid fortsatte arbejdet. (They waited; meanwhile, the work continued.)
