About

The word "就算" is formed by combining the character "就", which here establishes a conditional or concessive frame, with "算", which denotes calculating or considering. This direct pairing produces a compound conjunction meaning "even if", specifically used to introduce a hypothetical or concessive clause in a sentence.
