Notes This contrastive meaning can be also found expressed in questions, when the speaker confirms that the state of affairs is still valid despite the contradictory truth marked by -(으)ㄴ/는데.

The addition of -도 forming -(으)ㄴ/는데도 provides the stronger contrast meaning.
-(으)ㄴ/는데 and its polite form -(으)ㄴ/는데요 can be used as sentence-ending principles. In this role, -(으)ㄴ/는데(요) rounds off a polite exclamation or a polite negative response to a question.
