"...是..., 但是..." (...shì..., dànshì...) is a pattern often used when conceding a point in an argument or debate. It's usually indicating that the speaker is conceding a point, but they still have some reservations about the topic at hand. Don't worry, the examples will make this clear.
Here's the basic structure:
Adjective + 是 + Adjective + 但是
Here are some examples to make this pattern a bit clearer:
- 中国的产品便宜是便宜，但是质量不太好。
- 这个价格好是好，但是不便宜。
- 那辆汽车快是快，但有不好可靠度。
