Questions & Answers about A garancialevél ugyan itt van, de a blokk nincs a táskában.

What does ugyan mean here?

Here ugyan adds a concessive sense, something like admittedly, it is true that, or granted.

So A garancialevél ugyan itt van, de... has the feeling of:

• The warranty card is here, admittedly, but...
• The warranty card is here, true, but...

It often is not translated word for word in natural English, but it strengthens the contrast with de = but.

Can I leave out ugyan?

Yes. You can say:

A garancialevél itt van, de a blokk nincs a táskában.

That is still correct. Without ugyan, the sentence sounds more neutral. With ugyan, the contrast feels a bit stronger: yes, this part is true, but there is still a problem.
