    Hi guys , I am finally back. Can you give more examples of برضو . You define it as "even though" in the vocabulary but translate it as "still" , is it only used in front of superlative adjectives? Thanks for follow up! Great job on the lessons!

    Hi Tomest05,
    The meaning of (برضو) is very dependant on the context. Here are some examples:
    برضو ممكن نطلع مع بعض
    We can also go together

    برضو ما رح أسمع كلامه
    Still I will not listen to what he says

    سليم برضو بحبها
    Saleem also loves her

    I hope these examples clarify the meaning for you.

    Ehab,

    Interesting examples does برضو connotation mean like "on-going" even if "still" is not the best way to translate in English?

    For instance your first example, does it connote there was something that may have prevented the two from going out, but the response is "We can still go out".

    Maybe I will use one sentence as context:

    عندي امتحان بكرة ولكن برضو ممكن نطلع مع بعض

    I have a test tomorrow, but we can still go out together.
    او

    حتى اعرفه صحيح برضو ما ىح اسمع كلامه

    Even though I know he's right, I still won't listen to him.

    Do those make sense in that context? It's a very tough word to comprehend with its multi-use.

    @Tomest05, on your question about the prevention of the two from going out, the answer is yes this can be a scenario, also another scenario is that there was another option, like each one going in a car, but one suggested that برضو ممكن نطلع مع بعض as in going in one car ma3 ba3a9'

    As for your examples, they are actually spot on. I would just rephrase the second one as:
    مع أني اعرف أنه صح برضو ما رح اسمع كلامه
