Etymology
"Tuy nhiên" originated from classical Vietnamese combining "tuy" (though) and "nhiên" (so/thus) to form a contrast conjunction. "Ông ấy" is a polite Vietnamese phrase combining "ông" (mister/older man) and the third person pronoun "ấy" to refer to a man.
Memory Aid
Break the phrase into two parts: "Tuy nhiên" = transition word for contrast, "ông ấy" = polite reference to a man, to remember it introduces a contrasting statement about a man.
