Northern Kurdish → Grammar → 0 to A1 Course → Subordinating Conjunctions

Welcome to another exciting lesson in our journey through the Northern Kurdish language! Today, we will delve into a crucial aspect of grammar that allows us to connect ideas in more complex ways: subordinating conjunctions. Understanding how to use these conjunctions will help you form more intricate sentences and express yourself more clearly.

Subordinating conjunctions are essential for linking a dependent clause to an independent clause. This allows us to express relationships between different ideas, such as cause and effect, time, and condition. In English, we often use words like "because," "although," and "when" to create these connections. Similarly, Northern Kurdish has its own set of subordinating conjunctions that we will explore in this lesson.

In this lesson, we will cover the following sections:

Importance of Subordinating Conjunctions in Northern Kurdish[edit | edit source]

Subordinating conjunctions are vital in Northern Kurdish because they help us connect thoughts and ideas in a coherent way. By using these conjunctions, you can enhance your communication skills and express more complex thoughts, making your speech and writing richer and more engaging.

Overview of Subordinating Conjunctions[edit | edit source]

Before we jump into examples, let’s take a look at some of the most common subordinating conjunctions in Northern Kurdish:

ku (that)

çimkî (because)

herçî (although)

de (when)

ger (if)

xwe (though)

ez (as)

dema (while)

Now, let’s explore how to use these conjunctions to create meaningful sentences.

Using Subordinating Conjunctions[edit | edit source]

To illustrate the use of subordinating conjunctions, we will look at how to form sentences that include both independent and dependent clauses.

Examples of Subordinating Conjunctions[edit | edit source]

Here are some examples in Northern Kurdish that showcase how to use the subordinating conjunctions we listed above:

Northern Kurdish	Pronunciation	English
Ez dibim ku tu herî baş î.	Ez dibim ku tu herî baş î.	I think that you are very good.
Çimkî ew xweş e, ez ew qebûl dikim.	Çimkî ew xweş e, ez ew qebûl dikim.	Because he is nice, I accept him.
Herçî tu bêt, ez ê te bibînim.	Herçî tu bêt, ez ê te bibînim.	Although you are there, I will see you.
Dema ez bûm, tu çûyî.	Dema ez bûm, tu çûyî.	When I arrived, you left.
Ger tu çi bikî, ez ê te nîşan bînim.	Ger tu çi bikî, ez ê te nîşan bînim.	If you do anything, I will show you.
Xwe te bînim, ez ê bînim.	Xwe te bînim, ez ê bînim.	Though I see you, I will see.
