EN: even if; although; despite
The official word for "Okay, fine, but...". It's the classic "I'll go with you, **even if** I don't really want to." It’s the literary, old-school way of saying 'kahit'. You'd use this to sound poetic while reluctantly agreeing to something.
Possibly from `ka` + `hi` + `man`, related to `bagaman` or `kahit man`.
Primarily used in literary or formal writing. `Kahit na` is the modern, everyday equivalent.
