যদিও … তথাপি
Although … Still …
যদিও … তথাপি … means “although … still …”.
How It Works
যদিও introduces a fact that you would expect to stop the main action, and the main action goes ahead anyway.
| Position | Example |
|---|---|
| before the clause | যদিও জাৰ বেছি, ৰফিকুল ৰাতিপুৱাই ওলাই গ’ল |
| after the clause | দীপংকৰ সৰু যদিও ভালকৈ সাঁতুৰিব পাৰে |
| with তথাপি | হয়তো এইটোৱেই স্বাভাৱিক; তথাপি … |
When যদিও comes after its clause, the clause often stands first in the sentence: এইটো এটা কঠিন কাম যদিও মই শেষ কৰিবলৈ চেষ্টা কৰিম “although this is a hard task, I will try to finish it”.
তথাপি can stand alone as well: মোক তথাপি এইটো লাগে “I still need this”.

- যদিও জাৰ বেছি, ৰফিকুল ৰাতিপুৱাই ওলাই গ’ল।
Even though it is very cold, Rafiqul left at dawn.
যদিও opens the sentence and the clause before the comma goes against the main one.
- এইটো এটা কঠিন কাম যদিও মই শেষ কৰিবলৈ চেষ্টা কৰিম।
Although this is a hard task, I will try to finish it.
যদিও follows its clause.
- দীপংকৰ সৰু যদিও ভালকৈ সাঁতুৰিব পাৰে।
Dipankar is small, but he can swim well.
সৰু যদিও sets up the surprise.
- হয়তো এইটোৱেই স্বাভাৱিক; তথাপি মোৰ এনে লাগে যে কিবা এটা হেৰাই গৈছে।
Maybe this is natural; still, it feels to me as if something has gone missing.
তথাপি opens the sentence that goes against the first.
- মোক তথাপি এইটো লাগে।
I still need this.
তথাপি can stand alone for “still”.
