「だが・ですが」の情報

While だが (or ですが as a polite equivalent) are classified as their own words, they are actually just combinations of , or です, and . だが is usually used as a formal way of saying 'but', or 'nevertheless'. Due to this, we can see that is being used to 'determine' that a statement is true, while simply shows that there is other important information to follow.

In this way, だが is very similar to the expression 'that may be, but…' in English. だが may be used at the beginning of any phrase, or between sentences.

Caution

When using ですが, it will automatically mean that the rest of the sentence should also use polite speech.

To make だが sound a little bit softer, sometimes is added. However, this is not so common in modern-day Japanese, and is more limited to the older generation.

Fun Fact

Due to だが and ですが using (the formal equivalent of けど), this phrase can sound quite stiff. Therefore, it is far more common to hear でも at the beginning of a sentence in casual speech.
