expression

בְּכָל זֹאת

be-khol zot

Anyway; nonetheless; despite that.

01

Pronunciation

The kh sound is like the ch in Scottish “loch.” Pronounce zot /zot/ with a pure “o” sound; avoid the “oh-oo” glide heard in English “boat.”

02

Usage

Use בְּכָל זֹאת when something happens despite an obstacle, expectation, or earlier circumstance. For example, הוּא בָּא בְּכָל זֹאת means “He came anyway,” suggesting there was a reason he might not have come. It does not usually mean “anyway” as a way to change the subject.

03

Grammar

This expression does not change for gender or number. It can appear after the action it describes or introduce a contrasting statement.
