>me what a concessive clause is. It occurs with an indicative verb.
A concessive clause is an adverbial subordinated clause that indicates an
unfavorable circumstance despite which the action of the main verb takes
place. It can be translated with "Although" or some such expression in
English. They can be introduced in Greek by KAIPER, KAITOI, KAITOIGE.
