तबो

Even So

Level 4Sounds Like tabō

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 partतबो part
बरखा होत रहेतबो ऊ आइल
हम समझवनीतबो ऊ ना मनलस
थाकल बानीतबो 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".
