- <p>When conceding a point, we often put emphasis on the point we
- are conceding, and in Chinese there is a way to do that with 是
- (shì).</p>

- <p>This pattern is often used in an argument or debate. It's
- usually indicating that the speaker is conceding a point,
- <em>but</em> they still have some reservations about the topic at
- hand. Don't worry, the examples will make this clear.</p>
- <div class="jiegou">
- <p>Adj. + 是 + Adj. ， 但是 / 就是 ⋯⋯</p>
- </div>
- <p>"但是"连接的第二个分句可以是好的、让人满意的方面或者相反的情况。"就是"连接的第二个分句一定是让人不满意的方面。</p>
