Supposing (предположим / допустим), introduces a hypothetical situation to engage the reader and set up a comparison with reality., not to mention (не говоря уже о), adds extra, reinforcing information that strengthens the previous point (here, emphasising that the danger is an additional serious issue)., given (учитывая,что), introduces a reason or justification for a claim (here, explaining why the job is dangerous)., inasmuch as (поскольку / в той мере, в какой), provides a clarification or explanation of the previous statement (here, defining how they are "invisible" — because we don't notice them)., let alone (не говоря уже о), introduces a more extreme or less likely scenario than the one just mentioned (here, if they wouldn't listen, allowing painting is even less likely)., provided that (при условии, что), introduces a condition (here, Yassine's agreement was conditional on him helping to recruit others)., Now that (раз уж), indicates a cause-and-effect relationship based on a new situation (here, because the project has succeeded, expansion follows)., regardless of (независимо от), shows contrast or lack of influence (here, respect should not be affected by how dirty the job is)., Granted (признаю, что / допустим, что / конечно), concedes or acknowledges a counterpoint before reinforcing the main argument (here, accepting the limitation but still defending the project's value)., nonetheless (тем не менее), marks a contrast or concession — it signals that despite the previous point (limited impact), the following point (it's still important) remains true.
