integendeel on the contrary
dan 5 then
Al had hij het gedaan, ze hadden het me toch niet verteld.
(Note the word order in the second clause—there is no inversion of
subject and verb.)
Even if he had done it they would not have told me about it anyway.
Hij zag eruit als had hij dagenlang niet geslapen.
He looked as if he hadn’t slept for days.
Mijn leerlingen zijn lui, toch zijn ze niet stom. (compare
12.1.1.4)
My pupils are lazy, nevertheless they are not stupid.
Voel je je ziek, dan moet je thuis blijven.
If you are feeling sick, (then) you should stay home.
12.3.1
Notes
1 Alleen and dus can also be co-ordinating (see 12.1).
2 Althans is commonly used as a straightforward adverb:
Hij doet althans geen kwaad.
He’s harmless at least.
But when used as a conjunction, unlike all other adverbial
conjunctions, it does not affect word order and thus functions in the
same way as a co-ordinating conjunction:
Hij is niet naar de vergadering gekomen, althans ik heb
hem niet gezien.
He didn’t come to the meeting, at least I didn’t see him.
3 Al in this sense (see the first example under 12.3) is synonymous
with zelfs als, which is subordinating.
4 Als in this sense (see the second example under 12.3) is the same as
alsof, which is subordinating (see 12.2.1.8 (f)).
5 This dan is used after a particular sort of ‘if’ clause, as in the last
example above (see 12.2.1.5), but also after comparatives (see 9.2.6
and 12.2.1.8 (e)).
