The Mandarin Chinese word '尽管 (jǐn guǎn)' is a conjunction word used to introduce a concessive clause. It means 'although' or 'even though' in English, and is used to show a contrast or contradiction between two clauses. The condition stated in the '尽管' clause does not influence or change the situation stated in the main clause.
