Memory Hook
Imagine a debate where someone says 'but' to disagree. Think of 'da-ga' as 'da' (yes) + 'ga' (but) — it's like saying 'yes, but...' to introduce a contrast. 'Da-ga' → but!
Cultural Note
『だが』 (daga) is often used in formal writing, speeches, or debates to present a counterargument. It's less common in casual conversation, where 『でも』 (demo, 'but') is preferred.
