Cultural Tip
In everyday Italian, però is often placed at the end of a sentence to soften a criticism or introduce a contrasting idea. It’s common to hear a short pause before però, and speakers may also use però after a comma as shown here. Avoid over‑using it in formal writing; instead, you can replace it with tuttavia or però in the middle of the sentence.
