How to say "But" in Chinese - difference between 但是(dànshì)可是(kěshì)不过(búguò)却(què) and 然而(rán’ér) 

feels like they can map to 但是，可是，但/可是呢，（但）不管怎么说

Hem-mâ = Not exactly such /not really =Amma= Ama Ama=but=但是 Fakat=but=可是 Lâkin=but=但 velâkin=but=可是呢 Amma ve lâkin=but and but=但是和可是 Ancak=but=却 (but not only this) Gerçi=Though Her nasılsa /Ancak =However Nasıl olsa / Her neyse = Anyhow Her neyse / Yine de = Anyway Yine de / Her şeye rağmen= Nonetheless Her halükârda /Her durumda=in any case Her durumda/ Her mevzûda = at all events

It doesn't depend on you, but each has a nuance and is used appropriately in different context. Losely, sure you can interchange.

hahah me too quite confused, when i noticed that danshi often used in political interview or formal interview

@@ezmill4121 good to listen to news and interviews

Makes sense, "however" we use after the noun and before the verb. They're very similar.

Also!What is your country I´M from Brazil.

@@arthurcosta9482 I'm from United States 😬 If you're learning the language I'm overjoyed, it's really amazing and increasingly useful in the future, that's for sure!

@@dunzhen I HATE your country but you look beautiful, tell me most Americans love the US? And why, being such a Nazi country and in mid-2020-2021, was there the anti-Asian bombing of Atlanta and the death of George Floyd?

@@arthurcosta9482 Yes you're complete right. America sucks ass. Violent, racist country where everyone's tax dollars goes to bombing others. A plutocracy and an oligarchy. But America has the best propaganda in the world, by far, so people are STILL slow to recognize how terrible this place is

@@dunzhen Here the oligarchy and plutocracy is Worse but no one expects SO MUCH NAZISM in the 15th most developed country and Biggest economy in the WORLD! Hey, answer me why Americans didn't want to leave the US or hate their country?

me too. jebać buguo and keshi. danshi for the win!

作为中国人，我用“但是/但”的次数最多。不管是用于口语还是书面语。

@@taoenguan4769 Ni hao TaoTao. :) That's good to know. I have also been told this by my online Chinese class website, but you never know whether or not what you are learning is what real Chinese use. Thank you for your comment! Tai xie xie ni le!!!

@@taoenguan4769 我用最多的是不过哎😂

I think the way you describe 却 it sounds like it’s used like “instead”?

Yeah, basically ☺️ That's what I understood, anyway. I think nuance/context is important in languages so I really like how this video explains some of these subtle differences. I'd say the first group is more akin to "but" and the second group is more like "however, whereas, while, even though/even if" which deal with totally opposite situations. I've also noticed something else while watching Chinese TV dramas; the use of "不过" tends to be softer. I checked this subtly with a couple of Chinese friends and they seem to agree. 🤔☺️

Que is more like surprisingly

But yet I already have a bf? 😆

@@ninoslanguagejourney6002 but, you included but. So that makes it sound more natural. Lol And I think this way makes it sound a bit different than just saying, but i have a boyfriend. Like the person may be being a bit rude, or may be may be disappointed by the fact they already have a boyfriend and this guy is so great. Like you're a nice person, but yet I have a boyfriend, dammit. Lol.

@@dalfireasha Well not everything has to be translated literally 😂 I just see it as a way to memorize the sentiment behind it. It's like how there will never be a satisfying translation for 加油 in English and it will always frustrate me that in chinese dramas they translate it to "fight" 🤣

最后一句更改一下：他非常想成功，却不努力。“但是”和“却”重复了。

@@lisachou4285 其实可以吧，口语中也会说“但却”之类的

@@lisachou4285 我觉得可以重复，表示强调。

但是却不努力 没问题

然而是古文的但今天依然在用的用法，可以让语言变得有更疏离更有文化降低口语感（很难形容）
