albeit is synonymous with although (it be) not though it may be. You can use whether it be or though it may be instead of albeit.

albeit has a slightly musty smell, like an old book store.

This is the most direct route to the town, albeit a dangerous one. Brigands are known to rob travelers at musket-point along it.

The most contemporary way of expressing your idea is probably though it may be.

In this sentence, "albeit" is best translated as "although it might be."

We hear a song from our past and are transported back to a memory from long ago, although the memory might be a good or a bad one

  • Thanks. Is 'regardless' COMPLETELY inappropriate? (e.g. regardless they are good or bad)
