Grammar
"Все пак"
maintains the decision to check despite a convincing appearance. "Ами ако…?"
offers an alternative without declaring it a fact. Separate a possible explanation from an established finding: particles express a stance; verification supplies grounds.
Все пак три препечатки на един текст не са три независими източника.
Even so, three reprints of one text are not three independent sources.
Ами ако снимката е от миналата година?
What if the photograph is from last year?
