    Всё же

    A person who has suffered a cold says:
    Теперь я решил побольше заниматься спортом, чтобы закалиться. Всё же закалёниые люди не так подвержены простуде.
    The meaning for "Всё же" one can hope here is: "And this because strong people is less exposed to colds". However the translation for "Всё же" in my dictionary is is (con todo, a pesar de todo) "in spite of, despite", "still, however". I think it must be something close to "ведь", something like "and so because...", a continuative conjuntion. Can you throw some light on it? Thanks.

    Lingvo translates it as 'after all', that looks right. It doesn't mean in spite of, despite".
    Russian is tough, let’s go shopping!
