is more commonly used in spoken language. But you can still use it

在口語中比較常用 語，但你仍然可以使用它。但你仍然可以使用它

in formal situations and in written language. Let's see some examples.

在正式場合和書面語言中。 讓我們看看一些例子。

and that is when you put it at the end of a sentence.

而這時你把它 在句末。

Native speakers do this all the time and it's relatively colloquial.

母語使用者經常這樣做 時間，而且比較口語化。

It basically means "but" or "however", but as I said,

基本上是 "但是 "的意思 或 "然而"，但正如我所說。

it goes at the end of a sentence. It doesn't join two parts of a sentence.

它放在句子的末尾。 它不連接一個句子的兩個部分。

Here are some examples.

下面是一些例子。

You can also sometimes put it after "thanks" or "thank you".

你有時也可以把 在 "謝謝 "或 "感謝 "之後。

For example, when you decline something.

例如，當你 拒絕一些東西。

Someone could say to you: "Would you like some cake?"

有人可以對你說 "你想吃點蛋糕嗎？"

Then you might answer: "I've already had some. Thanks, though."

那你可能會回答： "我已經吃了一些。不過還是謝謝你。"

It's like saying "but thanks" or "thanks anyway".

就像在說 "但是謝謝 "一樣 或 "還是謝謝你"。

In these last examples, where "though" is at the end of a sentence,

在最後這些例子中，其中 "雖然 "在句末。

you cannot replace it with "although". You cannot say:

不能代之以 "雖然"。你不能說。

"I don't like cooking. I like, eating although." No, that doesn't make sense.

"我不喜歡做飯。我喜歡，雖然吃。" 不，這沒有意義。

And you cannot say: "Thanks, although." And you cannot, I repeat, you cannot put

你也不能說"謝謝，雖然。" 你不能，我重複一遍，你不能把。

"but" at the end of a sentence. Some native speakers make this mistake,

"但 "在句末。有些 母語者會犯這個錯誤。

particularly in Australia. But you should not copy them.

特別是在澳洲。但是 你不應該複製它們。

I know that was a lot of information, but hopefully it's a bit clearer now.
