As a teacher of Northern Kurdish for over 20 years, I find coordinating conjunctions to be an essential part of language learning. In this lesson, you will learn how to use coordinating conjunctions in Northern Kurdish. Coordinating conjunctions are used to connect two independent clauses, which are complete thoughts that can stand alone as sentences.
=== What are Coordinating Conjunctions? ===
 
Coordinating conjunctions are words that link together other words, phrases, or clauses that are of equal importance in a sentence. In English, the most common coordinating conjunctions are "and," "but," "or," "nor," "for," "so," and "yet."
 
In Northern Kurdish, coordinating conjunctions serve a similar purpose. They are essential for creating complex sentences, allowing you to express more nuanced ideas.

== What are Coordinating Conjunctions? ==


Coordinating conjunctions are words that connect two sentences or elements of equal importance. They join sentences, phrases, or words of the same grammatical rank. The most common coordinating conjunctions in Northern Kurdish are 'u' meaning 'and,' 'yan' meaning 'or,' and 'am' meaning 'but.'
| ne || ne || nor


Here is an example of coordinating conjunctions in a sentence:
|-


"Min berdewamî li derveyî malikane û taybetmendî ye, lê belê, min dixwazî ji aliyê hinek mafên hin kesan û ciwanên ereb ve bê derbas kirin."
| ji bo || ji bo || for


Translated to English: "My perseverance extends beyond royalty and privilege, but I want to extend some rights to some people and Arab youth."
|-


In this sentence, 'lê belê' means 'but' and it is used to join the two independent clauses.
| herwiha || herwiha || so


== Common Coordinating Conjunctions ==
|-


Here are the common coordinating conjunctions in Northern Kurdish:
| hîn || hîn || yet


* 'am' meaning 'but'
|}
* 'belê' meaning 'so,' 'thus,' or 'therefore'
* 'û' meaning 'and'
* 'yan' meaning 'or'
* 'dîsa' meaning 'again'
* 'na' meaning 'neither'

=== Using Coordinating Conjunctions in Sentences ===


Coordinating conjunctions can be found in sentences where there are two or more independent clauses. Independent clauses are clauses that can stand alone as a sentence. When a sentence contains two independent clauses and a coordinating conjunction, it is called a compound sentence.
Now, let's dive into how we can use these coordinating conjunctions effectively in sentences. The structure is quite straightforward: you can connect two clauses or phrases with a conjunction to convey your thoughts clearly.  


Here are some examples of sentences with coordinating conjunctions:
Here are some examples to illustrate how coordinating conjunctions are used in Northern Kurdish:
