Translation of German word "dennoch" to English
dennoch
/dɛnˈnoːç/
Meaning
VerbNevertheless.
How to use
The adversative conjunctional adverb dennoch ('nevertheless / yet / despite this') is used to express contrast. Note: the source metadata mistakenly lists this as a verb, which is a major error, and its translation as 'хотя' (although) is incorrect; it actually means 'nevertheless/yet' (тем не менее, всё же). It is a conjunctional adverb, causing inversion when placed at the beginning of a clause (Es regnete stark, dennoch gingen wir spazieren).

Example
Ich bin müde, dennoch bin ich noch nicht fertig.
I'm tired, but I'm not finished yet.
Das Wetter ist schlecht, dennoch ist es nicht regnerisch.
The weather is bad, but it's not raining.
