Obobgleichdaß

obobgleichdaß is a German conjunction that combines the meaning of "although" and "even though." It is a somewhat archaic or less common construction, often found in older literature or regional dialects. The conjunction serves to introduce a subordinate clause that expresses a contrast or concession to the main clause. Its usage is similar to the more frequently used conjunctions "obwohl" and "obgleich." The structure typically involves the subordinate clause preceding the main clause, with "obobgleichdaß" connecting the two. For example, one might say "Obobgleichdaß es regnete, gingen sie spazieren" (Although it was raining, they went for a walk). The "daß" component emphasizes the subordinate nature of the clause, reinforcing its function as an introducer of a dependent statement. While grammatically correct, modern German speakers predominantly opt for the simpler "obwohl" or "obgleich" due to their widespread recognition and simpler structure. The presence of "obobgleichdaß" in contemporary texts often signals a deliberate stylistic choice to evoke a specific tone or historical context.
