तबो
Even So
तबो means even so or still.
How It Works
तबो joins two sentences. The first sentence gives a reason to expect one outcome. The second sentence says the opposite happened.
| First part | तबो part |
|---|---|
| बरखा होत रहे | तबो ऊ आइल |
| हम समझवनी | तबो ऊ ना मनलस |
| थाकल बानी | तबो काम करे के बा |
तबो is the same word as तब (then) with -ओ (also, even). It is a bit like बाकिर (but), but it stresses that the outcome did not change.
Use तबो for "even so". Use बाकिर for a plain "but".
