S1が、S2 (S1 ga, S2) — S1, but S2
Joining two sentences with "but" to show contrast.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
Here 「が」is not the subject particle but a conjunction meaning "but / however," joining two sentences to show contrast. Put が at the end of the first complete sentence, then add the second: 「S1が、S2」. Example: このラーメンはおいしいですが、高いです (kono raamen wa oishii desu ga, takai desu) = "This ramen is tasty, but expensive." This が differs from the subject-marking が — it comes after です／ます at the end of a clause.
