Advanced Discourse Connectors

C1 writing and speech reach for a wider, more precise set of connectors than B2's basic toolkit — folglich for consequence, gleichwohl for a stronger contrast than trotzdem, allerdings for a qualifying 'however'.
Grammar Comparison
இலக்கண ஒப்பீடு
Precision connectors — each signals a slightly different logical relationship
folglich (consequently) / demzufolge (accordingly) / gleichwohl (nevertheless, stronger than trotzdem) / allerdings (however, qualifying)
எனவே (consequently) / அதன்படி (accordingly) / ஆயினும் (nevertheless, formal) / எனினும் (however, qualifying)
Tamil has its own tier of formal-register connectors that sit above everyday spoken conjunctions, and the mapping is remarkably direct: எனவே and folglich both mark a logical consequence, அதன்படி and demzufolge both mean 'accordingly, based on that', and ஆயினும்/எனினும் sit in formal Tamil the same way gleichwohl/allerdings sit in formal German — a notch more literary than trotzdem/aber. If you already reach for these Tamil words in a formal speech or essay, you already have the right instinct for which register these German connectors belong to.
