ConjunctionBut, yet, though, although.
How to use
The adversative conjunction/adverb jedoch ('however / though / but') is used to introduce a contrast. Unlike aber, jedoch cannot stand in front of position 1 without causing inversion; it usually stands in position 1 or is embedded inside the clause (Er war müde, er ging jedoch zur Arbeit — He was tired, he however went to work). Note: the translation is 'однако', but in the source it was misspelled as 'днако' (let's fix it).
🇬🇧 English

Example
Ich bin müde, jedoch bin ich noch nicht fertig.
I'm tired, but I'm not finished yet.
Das Wetter ist schlecht, jedoch ist es nicht regnerisch.
