Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying this "Complete 0 to A1 Kannada Course" so far. Today, we are going to learn about an important aspect of Kannada grammar: conjunctions! Conjunctions help us link words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence, making our language more fluid and coherent. In this lesson, you will learn about the most common Kannada conjunctions like 'and', 'but', 'or', 'so', and 'because'. Are you ready? Let's get started!

Common Kannada Conjunctions

Here is a table of some common conjunctions in Kannada:

Kannada	Pronunciation	English
ಮತ್ತು	mattu	and
ಆದರೆ	ādare	but
ಅಥವಾ	athavā	or
ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ	āddarinda	so
ಏಕೆಂದರೆ	ēkēndare	because

As you can see, incorporating these conjunctions into your sentences will help you convey your thoughts more clearly, and your listeners will find your speech more natural and cohesive.

Here are some example sentences with conjunctions:
