就算/就是...也... (Even if... still...)
Explanation
This structure is used to emphasize that whether or not a condition or assumption occurs, the result remains unchanged. '就算' and '就是' can be used interchangeably at the start of a sentence to put forward an assumption, usually an unlikely or extreme condition, then '也' is used to affirm that the result stays the same.
