Etymology
From tam + -em. Last particle in īdem. Compare with its later doublet: tandem, both with original meaning supposedly "so(much)ever".
Pronunciation
- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈta.men/, [ˈt̪ämɛn]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈta.men/, [ˈt̪äːmen]
- Note: unlike in tametsī, the graphic m does represent the bilabial nasal /m/.
Adverb
tamen (not comparable)
- (usually postpositive, also initial and final) however, in spite of this
- (expressing a concession) nevertheless, yet, still
- 166 BCE, Publius Terentius Afer, Andria 864:
- Simo: Nihil audiō! Ego iam tē commōtum reddam! Davus: Tamen etsī hoc vērum·st? Simo: Tamen!
- Simo: I'm not listening! Your heart strings are about to get a real good tugging! Davus: Even if it's true? Simo: Even so!
- (literally, “...I'm about to make you greatly moved...”)
- Simo: Nihil audiō! Ego iam tē commōtum reddam! Davus: Tamen etsī hoc vērum·st? Simo: Tamen!
- all the same, just the same (in spite of appearances of the contrary)
