اس کے برعکس
Setting Up an Opposite Comparison
This has one property → by contrast, that has another.
How It Works
The expression can contrast two places, people, methods or claims. Identify what اس refers to before interpreting the new statement.
The contrast can correct an expectation, but it does not always deny the first statement. Two routes can differ in safety or length while both descriptions remain true.
Compare اس کے باوجود: that construction acknowledges an obstacle but says the result happened anyway. اس کے برعکس sets up an opposing comparison.
