Hello Pippa, I think is a lot of time that you put your question ... But I want to explain to you. "pure" is better do not use. First is difficult to use, the exactly meaning is "anche", use this! Second is not "clean italian", lot of time is "slang". Ciao
Hmm, usually I am quite careful with the hints for single words, knowing the correct translation can depend highly on context and the dictionary lookup does not consider context. Hints for phrases often are better. This time, however, the hints were really odd: "even though" as a whole phrase was given as "anche" only, while "anche se" was one of several options for "even" on its own. Does that make sense in some context to anyone?
