就算

就算 is a conjunction meaning 'even if' or 'even though,' used to introduce a hypothetical or contrasting situation. It emphasizes that the main clause remains true despite the condition presented.

The character 就 (jiù) means 'just' or 'then,' and 算 (suàn) originally meant 'to calculate' but here functions as a modal particle expressing a conditional or hypothetical scenario. Together, they form a common expression used in both spoken and written Chinese to express contrast or concession.

在日常交流中，就算常用于表达让步或假设，比如即使面对困难，也要坚持。它在中文中非常常见，尤其在辩论、劝说或描述复杂情境时使用。
