Explanation
「が」 has 2 uses
1But
The two halves pull against each other. More formal than けど, used in writing and formal talk: 「高いですが、いい物です」 (It is expensive, but it is good).
早いですが、起きます。
It is early, but I will wake up.
毎日走るが、運動はきらい。
I run every day, but I don't like exercise.

すみませんが、この漢字の意味は何ですか。

失礼ですが、お名前は？
