Description: the consequence of one particular set of adaptive choices that our lineage made, albeit successfully, many generations ago. And of course, we all share the same adaptive imperatives. We're all born. We all bring our children into the world. We go through initiation rites. We have to deal with the inexorable separation of death,

Jonathan Mostow

It seems that we're heading toward the day that films will be released in all platforms simultaneously, albeit with a cost premium to see it at home. But I hope that theater-going doesn't end - I think that watching movies on the big screen with an audience is still the best format and also an important one for society.

American Director

Walter Gropius

We must forget the prewar time, which was totally different. The sooner we adjust ourselves to the new, changed world, to its new, albeit harsh, beauties, the sooner will each individual be able to find his own personal happiness. The distress of Germany will spiritualize and deepen us.

German Architect

Johnny Flynn

I think the two are kind of synonymous for me; songwriting is like my form of diary making. It's how I process the world. Without doing that, I feel kind of lost. The characters that I play often come out in the songs and the challenges that they face, albeit in an abstract way.

South African Musician

Julia Gillard

I first felt the addictive power of 'Game of Thrones' when I was prime minister, living in a world where power was also pursued relentlessly, albeit far less colourfully. Certainly, the characters of my world were nowhere near as good looking or exotically dressed.

Australian Statesman

Vint Cerf

Improving the Internet is just one means, albeit an important one, by which to improve the human condition. It must be done with an appreciation for the civil and human rights that deserve protection - without pretending that access itself is such a right.

American Scientist

John Burnside

The conventional, and painfully artificial, separation of the human realm from the natural other is bound to perish, albeit over a period of time, until we are obliged to learn how to cultivate our gardens under the most demanding conditions.

Scottish Writer

Jurgen Habermas

The clever, albeit fragile, coalition against terrorism brought together by the U.S. government might be able to advance the transition from classical international law to a cosmopolitan order.

German Philosopher

Arabella Weir

I was accorded the opportunity to learn by failing - albeit at the cost of a few honourable teachers' sanity - and now I realise what a rare and incredible luxury that is.

British Comedian

Terry Brooks

Testing of self is a regular part of our own lives, so it seems natural to make it a part of the lives of my characters, as well, albeit on a much different level.

American Writer

Jim Carrey

Life is an ordeal, albeit an exciting one, but I wouldn't trade it for the good old days of poverty and obscurity.

Canadian Comedian

Use 'albeit' to highlight a concession or exception in your statement, showing a contrast to the main idea.

Concession Highlighter

'Albeit' can make a contrasting statement feel less direct or harsh, smoothing the transition of ideas.

Softening Contrast

'Albeit' often introduces a subtle shift in the sentence, providing nuanced insight or detail.

Subtle Nuance

'Albeit' introduces a counterpoint but does so mildly, without fully negating the previous statement.

Mild Contradiction

Using 'albeit' suggests that the subsequent information slightly undermines or reduces the impact of what was said.

Undercutting Slightly

'Albeit' is useful for expressing reservations politely, often in professional or formal situations.
