CCONJ: coordinating conjunction
CCONJ
Definition
A coordinating conjunction is a word that links words or larger constituents without syntactically subordinating one to the other and expresses a semantic relationship between them.
Single coordinating conjunction
Examples
- alá “but”, légnah ráno, alá na mažýh da záspem “I went to bed early, but I could not fall asleep”
- am / áma / _amá “but”, še dójdom, amá ne le isǽ - málko pó sétne “I shall come, but not now, just a little later”
Repetitive conjunction. These usually contain at least two parts.
Examples
- hem… hem… “either… or…”, fčéra hem letǽšo hem dúješo - “yesterday it was both rainy and windy” [lit.”yesterday it was raining and it also had wind”]
- níta / níto… níta / níto… “neither… nor…”, níta ty mí trǽbavaš níta drug - i samýj móžom da sí je stórem rábatono “I do not need either you or anyone else - since I can do my work on my own” [lit “neither you serve to me, nor another - and alone I can do my work”
Single and repetitive conjunction. These usually are used as singletons, but they also might be used in a repetitive chain.
Examples
- i “and”, samýj sí varí i peré “he does both cooking and washing on his own” [lit. “alone he cooks and washes”]
- i… i… “and… and…”, i játo mí svaríh i vódo mí annésah i kahvǿ mí stórih “I cooked them food and I took them water and I served them coffee (as well)” [lit. “and food them I cooked and water them I took and coffee them I made”]
