Whilst" es una conjunción que se utiliza principalmente en inglés británico y tiene un uso similar a "while". Se emplea para indicar que dos acciones ocurren simultáneamente o para contrastar dos ideas o situaciones. Aunque es más formal que "while", ambos términos son intercambiables en muchos contextos.

💡 "Whilst" is often perceived as more formal than "while," and its use may be less common in American English, where "while" is preferred. Care should be taken to avoid redundancy when using both "whilst" and "whilst" in close proximity.
