Difference between nevertheless and however.

We use both of them to show contradiction between two ideas or more, but while "nevertheless" show contrast, it also shows that deferent ideas are coexist together, and "however" shows that the idea follow it is the one that speakers target, and the one that cancel any other ideas contrast with it.

Not really Sir,because"Nevertheless" is a transition Like "However" that links two clauses, showing a logical relationship between them yet "Nevertheless" indicates concession I mean something that is unexpected or surprising like saying:"I'm afraid of flying nevertheless I take the airplane once a month to Algiers".the second statement is a surprise so we can use Nevertheless.On the other hand, "However" can indicate both concession and contrast like saying:"I live in Algeria however my best friend lives in England".So, you can always replace "nevertheless" with "however," but you can't always replace "however" with "nevertheless"....I hope you can see the difference now

This is a new idea
but
it has no thing to do with mine

if you want to correct me
just
check my idea "analyse it", and tell me where I am wrong
and where I am not

So you didn't quit like the first review,allright,here's an other one...About your idea,it's reversed actually,because "Nevertheless" is used when the second state or argument is not negotiable meaning that it "cancels any other idea"as you put it..but "However" is used when the argument or the state is negotiable ya3ni "the 2 ideas can coexist together"...Hope I helped now..
