Use it to acknowledge a fact before presenting a contrasting view or argument.

Concession Starter

It's a polite way to shift the conversation or to introduce a different perspective.

Conversation Shift

It smoothly transitions to a counterargument while acknowledging the previous point.

Less confrontational than saying 'but' or 'however'; it gently opposes a statement.

Useful in debates to concede a point without weakening your position.

Great for introducing an unexpected twist or surprise in the narrative.
