However in Korean 🇰🇷

그러나 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of "그러나" as marking a turning point in a sentence—a signal for “however” or “but” when the thought unexpectedly shifts.
• Break it into syllables: geu-reo-na. This rhythmic flow can remind you that a contrasting idea follows.

Explanations:
• "그러나" is a conjunctive adverb used to indicate a contrast or contradiction, much like “however” in English.
• It is generally used in formal or written contexts to connect two clauses where the second one contrasts with the first.

Other Words with Similar Meanings:
• 하지만 (ha-ji-man) – A more commonly used alternative in everyday spoken Korean.
• 그럼에도 불구하고 (geu-reo-me-do bul-gu-ha-go) – A more formal expression meaning “despite that” or “nevertheless.”

Alternate Meanings / Slang:
• "그러나" is not typically used as slang and is primarily reserved for its contrastive function. Its role in informal speech is limited, with words like 하지만 being more familiar.
