Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Use 'ເຖິງວ່າ' (theung wa) or 'ເຖິງ...ກໍຕາມ' to express contrast between two ideas, like 'even though' or 'although'.

  • Use 'ເຖິງວ່າ' at the start of the clause: 'ເຖິງວ່າຝົນຕົກ, ຂ້ອຍກໍຈະໄປ' (Even though it rains, I will go).
  • Use 'ກໍ' or 'ກໍຕາມ' in the main clause to signal the contrast: 'ເຖິງລາວຈະເມື່ອຍ, ລາວກໍຍັງເຮັດວຽກ' (Even though he is tired, he still works).
  • The concessive clause can come before or after the main clause without changing meaning.
ເຖິງວ່າ (Even though) + [Fact A] + ກໍ (still) + [Fact B]
