意味
Indicating that something is true or happens despite a previous statement or fact.
文化的背景
In Brazil, using such formal language is often associated with 'Bacharelismo'—a historical tendency to value academic titles and formal speech as a way to distinguish oneself socially. Portuguese academic culture is deeply traditional. In universities like Coimbra, using 'não obstante isso' in a thesis is almost mandatory to meet the expected stylistic standards. In formal administrative contexts in these countries, Portuguese remains the language of bureaucracy, and Latin-derived connectors are common in official gazettes (Boletim da República). Lawyers across the Lusophone world use this phrase to create 'concessive arguments,' which are essential for showing the judge that they have considered all sides of the case.
The Semicolon Trick
In writing, always use a semicolon before 'não obstante isso' and a comma after it. It makes your writing look instantly more professional.
Don't Overuse It
Using this phrase more than once in a single page of text makes your writing feel heavy and 'stuffy'. Save it for your strongest contrast.

The 'Doutor' Effect
If you use this correctly in a job interview in Brazil, you will likely impress the interviewer with your 'repertório linguístico' (linguistic repertoire).

Yes, it is an excellent way to start a paragraph that presents a counter-argument to the previous paragraph.
Yes, it is used in both, but it is strictly a formal written or oratorical form in both countries.
