What exactly does Όσο κι αν mean in this sentence, and how is this structure used in Greek?
Όσο κι αν is a fixed structure that means roughly “no matter how much / however much” or “as much as … (even if)”.
In Όσο κι αν βρέχει, the idea is:
- Όσο κι αν βρέχει = No matter how much it rains / However much it rains.
This structure:
- Introduces a concession (something that could stop you, but doesn’t).
- Is usually followed by a verb in the present tense (or past, depending on context):
- Όσο κι αν βρέχει, θα πάω. – No matter how much it rains, I will go.
- Όσο κι αν κουράζομαι, συνεχίζω. – No matter how tired I get, I keep going.
