<h1>Conjunctions in Slovenian</h1>
=== What are Conjunctions? ===
 
Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases, or clauses together. They allow us to create more meaningful and elaborate sentences rather than simple, fragmented ideas. In Slovenian, just like in English, conjunctions can transform your communication skills, enabling you to connect thoughts and ideas effectively.
 
=== Types of Conjunctions in Slovenian ===
 
In Slovenian, we can categorize conjunctions into two main types:
 
==== Coordinating Conjunctions ====
 
These conjunctions connect words or groups of words that are of equal grammatical importance. Common coordinating conjunctions include:
 
* '''in''' (and)
 
* '''ali''' (or)
 
* '''ampak''' (but)
 
* '''sicer''' (however)
 
==== Subordinating Conjunctions ====
 
These conjunctions connect a dependent clause to an independent clause. Some common subordinating conjunctions are:
 
* '''da''' (that)
 
* '''ker''' (because)
 
* '''če''' (if)
 
* '''ko''' (when)
 
=== Common Slovenian Conjunctions with Examples ===
 
Let’s look at some of the most common Slovenian conjunctions and see how they are used in context. Below are tables illustrating each conjunction along with its pronunciation and English translation.
 
==== Coordinating Conjunctions ====

Now, let's delve deeper into the usage of these conjunctions with examples in sentences.

* '''English:''' I want to go out, but it’s raining.
 
4. '''sicer''' (however)
