conjunction
ādarū
"although / even though"
"although / even though" in spoken Kannada is ādarū. It's a conjunction that you'll first encounter in Lesson 9: How Was It? — Recapping the Language Café of the KannadaMaadi course, where Anu and Ravi use it in context.
Grammar note contrast with ādare (but); -ū adds the 'even' nuance
