ακόμα κι αν
Even if
Ακόμα κι αν introduces a condition that would not change the result.
How It Works
Ακόμα κι αν introduces a condition that would not change the result.
The subordinate situation may be hypothetical rather than established fact. This contrasts with αν και, although, which commonly concedes something already accepted as true.
