Also spelled una

Although, but (written-leaning)

Concedes one thing and then contradicts it, in a tighter and more written register than casual speech: it began as an Incheon-Gyeonggi trip, but; he senses trouble, but; the team evaluation was perfect but the individual feedback was not. Captions like it because it is short and reads as a narrator's voice. In conversation the same turn comes out as 지만 or 는데. One line shows the fixed pair 으나 마나, meaning it makes no difference either way.

Register: written-leaning, narration
