azért is
Hungarian edit
Etymology edit
From azért, causal-final singular of az (“that”), and is (“also, even”), literally “for that as well” or, loosely, “even in that case”.
Pronunciation edit
Phrase edit
- despite everything, in any case, anyway
- De azért is kipróbálom. ― But I’ll try it out anyway.
- Csak azért is! ― Do it anyway!
- Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see azért, is.
Usage notes edit
- The idiomatic sense of azért is is more emphatic than adverbial azért (“anyway, regardless”), and is not generally given a comparable low intonation.
