Answer 1

Mckenzie, please fill out your profile. It will help us to help you better.

As for your question, I know of "sin embargo" and "no obstante" which mean however, nonetheless, and yet in the way you're using yet.

A native Spanish speaker, though, can probably be more helpful.

Answer 2

"Yet, the company still chose that option"?

The possible reasons for this sentence construction are quite complicated.

The "yet" indicates that something happened in the past that has not resulted in a solution or resolution.

"Inspite of that" could be used as Felix said.

The "still" could indicate an on going problem / situation that the company is ignoring.

I don't know why this structure was used and maybe therefore cannot translate it into Spanish. Even if I did I might not find the correct way of saying it in Spanish.

Daniela is a native Spanish speaker but even she has not translated it for you.

Sorry.

I agree...."in spite of" works. :) - rac1, Apr 20, 2015

Answer 3

Hello MacKenzie,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum

I think you could also say:

In spite of this (yet) the company still chose that option.

= A pesar de esto, la compañía (o la empresa) eligió esa opción.

I hope this helps you

Answer 4

Winkfish did give a great answer, but in your example which is a question, "pero" which means "but" would suffice.

Of course! The simple "pero"!! - Winkfish, Apr 20, 2015

Answer 5

Could you not use 'aunque"?

or"todavia" ? - margarita1943, Apr 21, 2015

Todavía no.Aunque yes, depending on context a bit. - annierats, Apr 21, 2015
