Japatan
Formação
- たとえ + Vて形 + も
- たとえ + いA(〜く) + ても
- たとえ + なA + でも
- たとえ + N + でも
Explicação
たとえ〜ても means even if ~, the result or the speaker's feeling stays the same. ても alone has the same meaning, but adding たとえ makes it stronger: no matter what. Na-adjectives and nouns take でも. The main clause often shows determination or obligation.
