Ainsi soit-il - So be it
Ainsi - Thus
Ainsi que - Aswell as
Donc - Therefore
Cependant / toutefois - However
C'est-à-dire / En clair - That is to say
À dire vrai (normal) / À proprement parler (soutenu) - Strictly speaking
En revanche (soutenu) / Par contre (normal) - On the other hand
Néanmoins - Il n'en demeure pas - Nevertheless
Par exemple - For example
Compte tenu que - Given that
En raison de - Due to
Dans la mesure où - To the extent that / where
