日本語のおしゃべり

Japanese Language
「Particles」

「Mono no・ものの」
"But, although."
NOTE: Mono no means essentially the same thing as ga and keredomo, but is a more formal usage and is used more often in writing than speaking.

Examples:
その国は独立したものの、まだ経済的な問題がたくさんある。
Sono kuni wa dokuritsu shita mono no, mada keizai-teki na mondai ga takusan aru.
Although the country has become independent, it still has many economic problems.

アメリカへ留学することに決めたものの、奨学金を取るのがむずかしい。
Amerika e ryūgaku suru koto ni kimeta mono no, shōgaku-kin o toru no ga muzukashii.
Although I've decided to study in the United States, it's difficult to get a scholarship.

Hope this helps!
