A. 그렇다고 B. (B usually negative) · fuller form: 그렇다고 해서
but that doesn't mean, even so
Example
일이 많긴 해요. 그렇다고 그만둘 수는 없잖아요.
I do have a lot of work. But that doesn't mean I can quit, right?
Word parts
그렇다 'to be so' + -다고 (quoting): 'just because it is so …'.
Good to know
Pronounced [그러타고]. The next sentence denies the conclusion you might expect: 그렇다고 포기하면 안 돼요 'But that's no reason to give up.'
