About ても
The combination of the conjunction particle て (or the case-marking particle で), with
the adverbial particle も, often has the nuance of 'even if (A)', or 'even though (A)'.
To use this structure, simply conjugate a verb or い-Adjective into its て-form, and then add
も.
For nouns and な-Adjectives, でも will be used instead.
い なに か
 あのに言っても 何 も変わりません。
Nothing will change even if you talk to him.
つめ お い す
 おは 冷 たくても美味しいから好きです。
I like tea because it tastes good even if it is cold.
かのじょ たいへん あきら
彼 女はが 大 変でも 諦 めません。

She will not give up on work even if it is difficult.
やす べんとう あたた
 安 いレンジでも 弁 当は 温 められます。
Even with a cheap microwave you can warm up bentos.
This grammar pattern may also be used for highlighting negative sentences, and will translate
similarly to 'even if not (A)', or 'even though not (A)' in these cases.
お
 これはまでに終わらなくてもいいから。
It's okay even if you don't finish this by tomorrow.
あたま くすり の
 頭 がくなくてもこの 薬 を飲んでください。
Please take this medicine, even if your head doesn't hurt.
やさい た ほう
 野菜はきじゃなくても食べた 方 がいい。
Even if you don't like vegetables, you should eat them.
うんてんしゅ
 運 転 手じゃなくてもシートベルトをしなくてはいけない。
Even if you're not the driver, you need to wear your seatbelt.
Fun Fact
でも (the form after nouns and な-Adjectives) is often considered to be an adverbial
particle itself, and there is often debate amongst native speakers as to whether でも is actually
a word, or simply a standard grouping of で, the case marking particle and も, the adverbial
particle. However, It may be easier to remember でも as its own word, for learning purposes.

 Japanese Conditional Form -
Part 2. ~ても (~temo) Sentence -
Intermediate Lessons: 25
In this lesson, you'll learn the next Japanese conditional form - ても (temo)
Sentence. By definition, it simply translates to "Even if ~" in English.

ても (temo) Sentence is used to indicate a reverse condition.

It's used when an action which is expected to be taken or an event which is

expected to happen naturally under the given circumstances does not
materialize or a thing turns out in a way opposite to a socially accepted idea.

Sentence Patterns
Let's check out the sentence patterns for ても (temo) sentence...
Sentence 1 (て-form) も、 Sentence 2
Affirmative
Verb (て-form) も、 Sentence 2
い-Adj (～い) くて も、 Sentence 2
な-Adj で も、 Sentence 2
Noun で も、 Sentence 2
Negative
Verb ない-form (～ない) なくて も、 Sentence 2
い-Adj (～い) くなくて も、 Sentence 2
な-Adj でなくて も、 Sentence 2
Noun でなくて も、 Sentence 2

Note: We called this conditional form ても (temo) sentence because it means て-

form + も (te-form + mo). However, it doesn't mean it's always ても (temo),
sometimes it can be でも (demo), sometimes it can be っても (ttemo), depending
on what is the て-form (te-form) in Sentence 1 of the sentence structures.

Example
Let's look at an example to see how this sentence works...

Imagine you have been taking a lot of food recently. Beside the normal 3 meals,
you took plenty of snacks in between meals, and ate a lot of junk foods for
supper.

If you continue doing this for weeks, normally it's natural that you'll put on
weight. In this case, you can use the と (to) sentence to describe the situation.

 たくさん食べると、太ります。
takusan taberu to, futorimasu

Meaning: If I take a lot of food, I will put on weight.

However, if the opposite result happens, you should use ても (temo) sentence to
describe the situation.

That means you don't gain weight even if you eat a lot of food. For ても (temo)
sentence, what happens is opposite to what people normally expected.

 たくさん食べても、太りません。
takusan tabetemo, futorimasen

Meaning: Even if I take a lot of food, I don't put on weight.

In summary...
たくさん食べます → 太ります ← naturally happen use と sentence
たくさん食べます → 太りません ← opposite result happen use ても sentence

Another Example

Normally, when the surrounding is noisy, you won't be able to sleep easily.
However, if you can sleep under such noisy environment, you can then use ても
(temo) sentence to describe the situation.

 うるさくても、寝られます。 (opposite)
urusakutemo, neraremasu
Meaning: Even if it's noisy, I can sleep.
 うるさいと、寝られません。 (normal)
urusaito, neraremasen
Meaning: If it's noisy, I cannot sleep.

うるさい → 寝られません ← normal use と sentence

うるさい → 寝られます ← opposite use ても sentence

More Examples of Japanese Conditional form ても (temo)

Sentence

1. 一時間しか寝なくても、元気です。 (opposite)
ichi jikan shika nenakutemo, genki desu
Meaning: Even if I sleep for only one hour, I feel energetic.

一時間しか寝ないと、眠いです。 (normal)
ichi jikan shika nenaito, nemui desu
Meaning: If I sleep for only one hour, I feel sleepy.

2. 静かでなくても、勉強できます。 (opposite)
shizuka denakutemo, benkyou dekimasu
Meaning: Even if it's not quiet, I can study.

静かでないと、勉強できません。 (normal)
shizuka denaito, benkyou dekimasen
Meaning: If it's not quiet, I cannot study.

3. いい天気でなくても、洗濯します。 (opposite)
ii tenki denakutemo, sentaku shimasu
Meaning: Even if the weather is not good, I'll do the laundry.

いい天気でないと、洗濯物が乾きません。 (normal)
ii tenki denaito, sentaku mono ga kawakimasen
Meaning: If the weather is not good, the laundry cannot get dried.

No Rule or Regulation for Japanese

Conditional form ても (temo) Sentence
From the last example, you'll notice that the second sentence 洗濯します
(sentaku shimasu) is a personal will. This is allowed in ても (temo) sentence.
In fact, as compared to と (to) sentence, this Japanese conditional form is much
simpler because there is no restriction in Sentence 2.

You can have one's will, hope, judgement, permission, order, invitation or
request, etc in Sentence 2. For example...

 明日雨が降っても、サッカーします。
ashita ame ga futtemo, sakka- shimasu

Meaning: Even if it rains tomorrow, I'll play soccer.

The second sentence サッカーします (sakka- shimasu) - "to play soccer" is a

personal will, but it's allowed in ても (temo) sentence.

 授業がなくても、学校へ来てください。
jugyou ga nakutemo, gakkou e kite kudasai

Meaning: Even if you have no class, please come to school.

Even if there is no class, your teacher will still ask you to come to school. The
second sentence in this example is a request form, but it's allowed here.

Summary
For Japanese conditional form ても (temo) sentence, you use it when the
opposite result happens (or opposite action is taken) to what people normally
expected. And there is no regulation in Sentence 2.

For と (to) sentence, one's will, hope, judgement, permission, order, invitation or
request, etc cannot be used in Sentence 2.

To use all these in Sentence 2, you have to use ば (ba), なら (nara) and たら (tara)
sentences which you are going to learn in next few lessons.
