What is the other way to say quand même? Once, one said to me that I shouldn't use it if I want to write a report, or any formal paper.
Especially in this kind of context:
"On vérifie ensuite, qu'il puisse quand même envoyer bla bla . . . "
Thanks

1I am sorry but the sentence "On vérifie ensuite, est-ce qu'il puisse quand-même envoyer..." just does not make sense 😟 Did you mean "We'll check later. Can he (still) send it out?" ?– SteffXOct 26, 2017 at 15:18

@SteffX I wanted to say "We'll verify later, Is he still be able to send bla bla bla".– AnnahriOct 26, 2017 at 17:15

@Nathan aha, damn auto-correct. Exacty what I wanted to say, thanks– AnnahriOct 26, 2017 at 17:16

1May I also point out that "quand même" should not have a hyphen between "quand" and "même" ?– GregOct 26, 2017 at 18:17

2It is definitely "quand même", but it is a mistake that even native speakers will sometimes do. I guess that is because "lui-même", "moi-même", etc, do require a hyphen.– GregOct 27, 2017 at 5:52

You can use "tout de même", which can be translated as "anyway". Depending of the context, you could also use "de toute facon".
Example:
C'est compliqué? On fait ça quand même.
is equal to
C'est compliqué? On fait ça de toute façon/ tout de même.
Selon le site Le Bon Synonyme, on trouve quatre synonymes de "quand même" :
- Tout de même
- De toute façon
- Aussi
- Dans tous les cas
