A word about "though" /ðo/
Especially at the end of a sentence, or in apposition, it means en revanche, par contre, or quand même :
- I don't have his phone number; I do have his email address though.
- I had hoped to finish the chapter, but someone started talking to me on the train. I did find out a bit about the schedule for works on the Vienne-Lyon line, though.
- "By far, though, the album’s best moments come when the music’s scale turns epic." §
At the beginning of a clause (proposition), it means quoique, bien que, même si, etc. Technically it is referred to as a "concessive conjunction".
- I had a tiny room with no view, though I had been promised a luxurious suite overlooking the beach.
- "Though often associated with a classic hard-bop sound, New Jersey-based saxophonist Tom Tallitsch changes things up a bit on Ten." §
- "Argentine-born guitarist Dominic Miller is probably better known as a Sting sideman than a solo artist, though he has more than a dozen albums to his name." §
- though /ðo/
- thought /θɔ:t/ (pensa, pensâtes, pensèrent, pensé (v.), pensée (n.))
- through /θru:/ (à travers)
