but; though

Structure

Explanation

The conjunctive particle が connects two clauses with a relatively formal or soft contrast.

Usage

It can also soften an opening, as in すみませんが.

Example

I listened to the explanation, but I still do not understand well.

Common Mistake

This が is not the subject marker; it connects clauses with contrast.

Memory Tip
