ConjunctionIn contrast; whilst on the contrary; although.
How to use
The adversative conjunction/adverb 'natomiast' (whereas / on the other hand / but) is used to contrast two clauses. Unlike 'ale' (but), it does not have to stand at the very beginning of the clause; it can stand after the subject (e.g., 'Ja piję kawę, on natomiast woli herbatę' — I drink coffee, he on the other hand prefers tea). Note: the source metadata mistakenly lists this as a conjunction but with empty/none POS class, let's establish it as a conjunction.
