mimo

This is the 286th most frequent Polish word.


mimo

"Despite" or "although."


"Mimo" here means "despite," indicating the situation (rain) contrary to which the action (going for a walk) was carried out.

Mimo deszczu poszliśmy na spacer.

Despite the rain, we went for a walk.


"Mimo" is used to introduce the circumstances (difficulties) that did not prevent the outcome (success).

On osiągnął sukces mimo wielu trudności.

"Mimo że" forms a conjunction meaning "although" or "even though," linking a subordinate clause describing an effort that contradicts the main clause (lack of success).
