What's the difference between хотя / несмотря на / впрочем / однако / тем не менее / при этом
The main neutral concessive conjunction: “despite the fact that.”
Although it was cold, we went for a walk.
Хотя было холодно, мы пошли гулять.
Close in meaning, but usually a preposition plus a noun/pronoun, not a conjunction.
Despite the rain, we went outside.
Несмотря на дождь, мы вышли на улицу.
More often used for a correction, addition, or a shift in thought: “however,” “anyway.”
I’m not sure, however, that it matters.
Я, впрочем, не уверен, что это важно.
Often means “however” or “but”; it highlights contrast more than simple concession.
He was tired, however he continued working.
Он устал, однако продолжил работать.
Emphasizes that something happened contrary to expectation: “nevertheless.”
It was late; nevertheless, we continued talking.
Было поздно, тем не менее мы продолжили разговор.
Connects two facts and shows simultaneity or an additional circumstance, not a pure concession.
He learns quickly and at the same time makes no mistakes.
Он быстро учится и при этом не делает ошибок.
A softer, more conversational concessive meaning: “still,” “all the same.”
It was difficult, but we still managed.
Было трудно, но мы всё же справились.
Not equal to “although”: it usually means “at least” and expresses a minimum, not concession.
Let him at least call.
Пусть он хотя бы позвонит.
