Answer

That means "but", a direct Sanskrit loanword. Another Sanskrit derived synonym is "parantu". The Urdu cognate is "lekin", used much more frequently than either of these.

Answer

Can you cite an example of the usage of "kitnu"? I can't remember any particular instance where this word is used.

Did you mean "kitne" which means "how many" ?
