tametsi

Latin

Alternative forms

  • tam etsi, tam et si

Pronunciation

  • (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈtãː ˈɛt.siː]
  • (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [t̪aˈmɛt̪.si]
  • Note: despite often being written as a single word, the graphic m does not stand for a bilabial nasal /m/ but a placeless one, as always in word-final position. The word is always scanned as two longs. Contrast with tamen, with /m/.

  1. although, though
  2. even if
    Synonyms: tamen etsī, tamenetsī
