Questions & Answers about Пусть репертуар и трудный, моя подруга всё равно хочет петь в хоре.

What does пусть mean here? I thought it usually meant let.

Here пусть is not the usual let-type command.

In this sentence, пусть is a particle that introduces a concession, so it means something like:

• although
• granted that
• even if
• let it be the case that

So Пусть репертуар и трудный... means roughly:

• Even if the repertoire is difficult...
• Granted that the repertoire is difficult...
• Although the repertoire is difficult...

It often has a slightly stronger I admit this, but it does not change the result feeling than plain хотя.
