tametsi

Latin

Alternative forms

• tam etsi, tam et si

Pronunciation

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /tam ˈet.siː/, [t̪ä̃ˑ ˈɛt̪s̠iː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /taˈmet.si/, [t̪äˈmɛt̪si]
• 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
