@ I Have A Question About The Word "Although" 質問です、お願いします。

ミーーー

厳しく言うと、although と though の使い方は、少しくらい違う気がする。

でも、実際的に毎日使う英語だと、こういう些細ことは誰もわざわざ気にしてないと思う。ミーの使い方もその人の使い方も間違ってないと思う。

確認しようと思って調べてみたら、BBC のサイトでも同じようなことを書いてある。

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/learnit/learnitv41.shtml

そして、本の中に書いてあるルールと現実でよく使う言い回しとは、よく違いがあるし。ミーは現実で使う英語を勉強したがっていると思うから、こういう細かいことを気にしなくていいと思う。

These words can be tough since they mean almost the same thing. Let me see if I can help.

"I really enjoyed my trip to England, although I didn't really like the food."
This "although" has the feeling of "...but, now that I think of it..." .

"Michelle is a really great girl, though I don't like her boyfriend. "
This "though" means "It's a fact that I don't like her boyfriend, but I'm still going to say that she is a really great girl."

So the difference is what the thought is behind the sentence.
Lets change them around:

"I really enjoyed my trip to England, though I didn't really like the food."
To me, this means "I didnt like the English food, but I will still say that I really enjoyed my trip"

"Michelle is a really great girl, although I don't like her boyfriend. "
To me, this means "Michelle is a great girl. But, now that I think about it, I don't like her boyfriend"


Note where the comma is:

A: Michelle is a really great girl though, [and] I don't like her boyfriend.
B: Michelle is a really great girl, though I don't like her boyfriend.

B is what we have been talking about
A is different. This "though" means "no, I disagree" or "you are wrong"
example:
person 1: "Michelle is really ugly"
person 2: "She is a really great girl though!"

Great question. Looks like you already have plenty of good answers though.

1. Although has a heavier feel than though. It's also more formal.

Although = しかし
Though = でも

2. Though usually goes at the end. Although usually goes at the beginning, along with a subclause.

I like Michelle. I don't like her boyfriend though.
I like Michelle. Although she has a boyfriend, she still has time to hang out with me.

Points (1) and (2) are for writing. For spoken, madox made several good points.

It could just be a stylistic approach. While they mean roughly the same thing, there are slight nuances to either word. Unfortunately I'm not quite able to explain. Some of the previous corrections do a good job of explaining them.

At times like this, I turn to http://english.stackexchange.com because responders cite sources and discuss usage.

Notably:
• "though" can and "although" cannot be used an adverb, placed last (e.g. He said he would come; he didn't, though.)
• "though" is alone possible in the "as though" idiom (as though = as if)

Those cases aside, I'd agree with everyone else, in that "although" and "though" are interchangeable.

この都度、回答者は源を挙げて使い方を話し合うので、 http://english.stackexchange.com で引く。

特に：
・文の後ろに、「though」は副詞として使えるが、「although」は使えない（He said he would come; he didn't, though.)
・「as though」というの熟語に「though」しか使えない。

それほかに、皆さんが言った通りがいいと思う、というか「although」は「though」を入れ替えたらいいです。

I may not be able to explain it well... Especially in Japanese

Grammatically, both are nearly the same, so no matter what word you use it's alright. A difference would be that "Though" is the short version for "Although" Because it has been shortened, it is very similar to " 『なくちゃ』 and 『なきゃ』. Also, "Although" is a little bit more formal.

Lastly, It's alright to think that "Although" is written expression and "Though" is a colloquial expression.

うまく説明できないかもしれませんが。。。特に日本語で。。。

文法的には、どちらもほぼ同じ意味なので、どんな言葉を使ってもいいと思います。違いがあるなら、『Though』は『Although 』の短いバージョンです。短くされたので、『なくちゃ』や『なきゃ』などに似ています。そして、『Although』のほうがちょっとフォーマルです。
最後に、『Although』は 書き言葉で、『Though』が話し言葉だと思ってもいいです。

"Although/Though we use them both no matter the case" (笑）
