Grammar point: Concession: y eso que, mal que (part 2)
At C1 level, you will often need concessive tools that do more than simply repeat 'aunque'. This is where 'y eso que' and 'mal que' become precise, deliberate choices. Both can be rendered as 'even though', but they carry distinct moods, positions and speaker attitudes, and they belong to different registers, from lively journalism to emphatic opinion writing across the Spanish-speaking world.
