What does 在庫があっても mean here?
在庫があっても means even if there is stock or even when they have it in stock.
- 在庫 = stock, inventory
- ある = to exist, to be available
- 〜ても = even if / even though
So:
- 在庫がある = there is stock
- 在庫があっても = even if there is stock
In this sentence, it sets up a contrast: having stock available does not necessarily mean you can get an immediate replacement.
Why is it あっても and not あって?
Because 〜ても is a grammar pattern meaning even if or even though.
- あって by itself is the て-form of ある, and it usually just links clauses.
- あっても adds the idea of concession: even if it exists.
Compare:
在庫があって、交換できる。
There is stock, and they can replace it.在庫があっても、交換してもらえないこともある。
Even if there is stock, there are times when you can't get it replaced.
So the も is essential here.
Why is 在庫 marked with が?
