"Mais je" is a French phrase that translates to "but I" in English. It is a common expression used to express a contrasting opinion or to introduce a counterargument.
Here are some examples of how "mais je" is used:
- "Tu veux aller au cinéma, mais je préfère rester à la maison." (You want to go to the cinema, but I prefer to stay home.)
- "Il fait froid dehors, mais je n'ai pas envie de mettre un manteau." (It's cold outside, but I don't feel like putting on a coat.)
- "Je sais que tu as raison, mais je ne peux pas faire autrement." (I know you're right, but I can't help it.)
In these examples, "mais je" introduces a statement that contradicts or modifies the previous statement. It is often used to express a personal opinion or preference, even if it goes against the prevailing opinion.
