falls

A very common neutral conditional conjunction meaning 'if' or 'in case'. It is usually simpler and more general than provided.

W
🇩🇪German
wenn

The most general and frequent way to say 'if'; it can also mean 'when', so it is broader and less specific than provided.

B2Very Often
O
🇩🇪German
obwohl

Not a condition but a concession: 'although'. It expresses contrast, so it is functionally opposite to provided rather than a true synonym.

B2Often
W
🇩🇪German
weil

A causal conjunction meaning 'because'. It gives a reason, not a condition, so it is not a synonym of provided in meaning.

B2Very Often
D
🇩🇪German
damit

Expresses purpose: 'so that' / 'in order that'. It marks intention, not condition, so it is semantically far from provided.

B2Often
