Thank you so much!
Sensei what the difference between
~つつもvs～のに
Both means even though
1. ～つつも
Formality: Formal, often literary.
Structure: Attaches to the -ます stem of verbs.
Example: 知りつつも (even though I know)
Meaning: "Even though" or "while doing." It expresses knowing something but doing the opposite.
Example: 悪いと知りつつも、やってしまった。
(Even though I knew it was wrong, I did it.)
Nuance: Reflects regret or self-awareness.
2. ～のに
Formality: Neutral, used in daily conversation.
Structure: Follows verbs, adjectives, or nouns.
Example: 雨が降っているのに (even though it's raining)
Meaning: "Even though" or "despite." It shows a simple contrast between expectation and reality.
Example: 雨が降っているのに、傘を持っていない。
(Even though it’s raining, he doesn’t have an umbrella.)
Nuance: No strong sense of internal conflict.
Key Difference:
～つつも: Emphasizes a contradiction with a sense of regret.
～のに: Shows a general contrast without emotional emphasis.
