if somewhat 是什么意思

经常在句子中看到if somewhat 这个短语,请问老师们这个短语该怎么理解呢?if在这里是做连词吗?

I have been a dutiful, if somewhat distant daughter.

David is being polite if somewhat distant. They make jokes about the Northeastern winters.

The serial killer appears to be an amiable if somewhat distant nice guy. He's an innocent, ingenuous.

这三个if....引导的都是让步状语从句从句。意为“虽然/尽管....有点....”。
