What does " though" mean?

(Austin tx , USA)

What does the word "though" mean, in English? Taking a look at Word Reference (a great website for definitions and translations) I found the following definition of "though". I created a couple of my own examples for you. I hope that makes the meaning more clear.

All the best,
Diana
