Usage notes
🇨🇬 is to some extent a "false friend" of 🇨🇬, since it is used not only in adversative (but) contexts, but also in certain additive (and) contexts, when there is the idea of contrast (while...) between two situations, very much like 🇨🇬:,      “I am working, and (= while) my wife is reading a book” (cf. 🇨🇬 я работаю, а моя жена читает книгу). A more strongly adversative word, used to stress contrast, contradiction, or inconsistency, is, which would correspond to 🇨🇬.
