To express contrast or concession—saying "although" or "even though"—Farsi uses two common conjunctions: اگرچه and با اینکه.
These connect clauses using standard indicative tenses (like the simple past, present, or future). Because they describe reality as it happened or as it is, there is no need to use the subjunctive mood.
Although (اگرچه)
To say "although," use اگرچه.
| Although the poet is young, his poetry is very popular. | اگرچه شاعر جوان است، شعر او خیلی محبوب است.agarche shâ'er javân ast, she'r-e u kheyli mahbub ast. |
It can appear at the beginning of a sentence, or in the middle to connect two clauses.
| The publisher did not print the book, although the story was a best-seller. | ناشر کتاب را چاپ نکرد، اگرچه داستان پرفروش بود.nâsher ketâb râ châp nakard, agarche dâstân porforush bud. |
Even though (با اینکه)
To say "even though," use با اینکه. In everyday Farsi, it is often interchangeable with اگرچه.
| Even though we read the book, we did not understand anything. | با اینکه کتاب را خواندیم، چیزی نفهمیدیم.bâ inke ketâb râ khândim, chizi nafahmidim. |
Like اگرچه, it can sit at the start or in the middle of a sentence.
| Even though she writes beautiful poems, she is not a popular poet. | با اینکه او شعرهای زیبایی مینویسد، شاعر محبوبی نیست.bâ inke u she'rhâ-ye zibâyi minevisad, shâ'er mahbubi nist. |
| I will buy three copies of this popular book, even though it is expensive. | من سه نسخه از این کتاب محبوب خواهم خرید، با اینکه گران است.man se nosxe az in ketâb mahbub khâham kharid, bâ inke gerân ast. |
