La plupart des dictionnaires anglais traitent les locutions anglaises «even though» et «even if» comme des synonymes. Il y a cependant une différence en français entre «bien que» et «même si». «Bien que» s'applique à une réalité - Ex. : Bien qu'il pleuve, je sortirai. Même si = s'applique à une hypothèse - Ex. : Même s'il pleuvait, je sortirais. 2, record 1, French, - bien%20que
