Let's explore the careful art of calligraphy while learning how to express that a situation remains true regardless of circumstances.
The Indefinite Adverb "Oricum"
The indefinite adverb oricum means "anyway" or "anyhow." It indicates that a fact or action stands regardless of what was just said. Place it at the beginning of a sentence to introduce a concluding thought:
| Anyway, I had to clean the fountain pen and the nib. | Oricum a trebuit să curăț stiloul și penița. |
| Anyway, the thickness depends on how you tilt the nib on the paper. | Oricum, grosimea depinde de cum înclini penița pe hârtie. |
To emphasize that an action happens regardless of obstacles, oricum can sit mid-sentence, directly after the verb:
| Tracing the letter, she sees what thickness it has anyway. | Trasând litera, ea vede oricum ce grosime are. |
Expressing Concession
Oricum frequently teams up with conjunctions like dar (but) to acknowledge a challenge before stating the result anyway.
| Calligraphy is a meticulous art, but I like it anyway. | Caligrafia este o artă migăloasă, dar oricum îmi place. |
| Calligraphy needs a lot of time, but I practice with the fountain pen anyway. | Caligrafia are nevoie de mult timp, dar oricum exersez cu stiloul. |
| He uses the fountain pen, but he writes in cursive anyway. | El folosește stiloul, dar oricum scrie cursiv. |
