3. Hûn diçin gundê. Min diçim. (herwiha)

In these examples, coordinating conjunctions like "lê" (but), "ji bo ku" (in order for), and "hem...hem" (both...and) are used to connect clauses and establish relationships between different parts of the sentences.
2. Ew çay hez dike, lê ew qehwe hez dike.

The usage and understanding of coordinating conjunctions may vary slightly across different regions or dialects within the Northern Kurdish-speaking community. These regional variations add depth and diversity to the language, reflecting the unique cultural heritage of each region. For example, in some regions, the coordinating conjunction "anîn" (or) may be pronounced as "aneen," while in others, it may be pronounced as "anen." These subtle differences in pronunciation contribute to the linguistic richness of Northern Kurdish.
