Surprising Facts with "y eso que"
To express "even though," "and yet," or "despite the fact that," use the phrase y eso que. This structure is perfect for stating a fact that makes a situation unexpected or surprising.
Because y eso que introduces an established fact or an experienced reality—not a hypothetical scenario—it is always followed by the indicative mood.
| The tablet freezes, even though it's extremely expensive. | La tableta se traba, y eso que es carísima. |
| The drone had a short circuit, even though it never rained. | El dron tuvo un cortocircuito, y eso que nunca llovió. |
Notice how the phrase connects two ideas: the unexpected failure happens first, followed by y eso que and the known fact that should have prevented it.
| The drone's light is flickering, even though the battery is full. | La luz del dron parpadea, y eso que la batería está llena. |
| The program isn't compatible, even though I installed the update. | El programa no es compatible, y eso que instalé la actualización. |
| I decided to throw away the watch, even though it cost a lot of money. | Decidí desechar el reloj, y eso que costó mucho dinero. |
