でも (even)

grammar

5 sentences

The particle でも attached to a noun, pronoun, adverb, or particle phrase to mean 'even X / even after / even in' — emphasizing an unexpected case or extending the scope universally. 幽霊でも見たかのように ('as if she'd seen a ghost'), 昼間でも暗い ('even during the daytime, it's dark'), 結婚後でも ('even after marriage'). Distinct from the concessive sentence-initial でも ('but, however') and from でも as 'or something' (softener).
