hello, elron8, I think your explanation is good, I think you can replace "nevermind" by "don't bother " (because it's not very important)
Do you know the idiom "it knocks but once " ?
I understand it in the meaning of "however" in this context.
Hi...
I don't know what's mean that idiom???
Could you tell us???
An other question.... If you have a formal conversation, what is better to use nevermind or don't bother...
Well, Hi everyone!
The expression "Never mind!" is often used after saying "Thank you!", means like "No problem", Right Gee?
Bye for Now.
nevermind.it will be alright
Hello elron8 and Birgit,
When anyway is used on its own at the end of a discussion, especially when people don't agree,it sort of means:"Think what you like but let me think what I like". I am not surprised you have often hearD it to put an end to an argument(=debate)
However is a synonym of still OR yet and is more often used at the beginning of a conversation.
EX English is not easy. However/still/yet I love it.
Be careful because still can also be used like this:
-I still have problems with anyway. True? If you have,let me know.
Have a good day.
