Spanish Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Spanish language. It's 100% free, no registration required.

In English, there are three conjunctions that are very similar:

  • although
  • even though
  • though

Is aunque the only possible translation of these to Spanish, or are there similar synonyms in Spanish as well?

It's depends on the sentence but you can also translate them as:

  • si bien.
  • a pesar de (que)
  • pese a (que)
  • (más) bien
  • No obstante
  • Sin embargo

I'm probably forgetting some possibility. All of them can be usually used as synonims but not always all of them "sound" okay.

Yes, there are, although (haha although ;) ) aunque is the one most commonly used and the one that usually springs to mind faster.

These are your options:

aunque

aún cuando

si bien

por más que

no obstante

sin embargo

aún si
