意味
In spite of that; however.
文化的背景
Using 'Ma'a dhalik' is a sign of 'Fasaha' (eloquence). It shows the speaker is educated and can handle complex thoughts without resorting to simple dialect. In Egypt, the formal 'Ma'a dhalik' is often replaced by 'Ma'a keda' in movies to show a character is middle-class and educated but not overly stiff. The equivalent 'Ma' hayk' is used very frequently in daily life, even in semi-formal situations, showing a cultural preference for this specific logical structure. In Arabic literature, this phrase is used to create suspense or to highlight the resilience of a character against the odds.
The 'Waw' Secret
Always add a 'Waw' (و) before 'مع ذلك' to sound like a native writer. It smooths the transition significantly.
Don't Overuse
In a single paragraph, don't use it more than once. Switch to 'لكن' or 'غير أن' to keep your writing fresh.
