You use "nevertheless" when you say something that seems conflicting to what you have said before.
For example:
The test was very difficult and the teacher didn't give us enough time, but I got a good score nevertheless.
She and I are very different. She loves to talk and go to parties, but I am quiet and like to stay home. Nevertheless, we are great friends.
A synonym is "despite (the conflicting information)"
The test was very difficult and the teacher didn't give us enough time, but I got a good score despite the challenges.
She and I are very different. She loves to talk and go to parties, but I am quiet and like to stay home. Despite these differences, we are great friends.
