Introduction

Hello and welcome to the North Azerbaijani course! In this lesson, we will be focusing on conjunctions in North Azerbaijani. Conjunctions are words that join two or more words, phrases, or sentences together. They are an essential part of any language and can help you connect your ideas in a logical way.

There are three types of conjunctions in North Azerbaijani: coordinating, subordinating, and correlative conjunctions. In this lesson, we will learn about each type, its uses, and its examples. By the end of this lesson, you will have a good understanding of how to use conjunctions in different situations.

Coordinating Conjunctions

Coordinating conjunctions are used to join words, phrases, or independent clauses of equal importance in a sentence. They are also known as Fərqli Birləşdiricilər ("different conjunctions") and there are seven of them in North Azerbaijani:

North Azerbaijani	Pronunciation	English
və	vuh	and
amma	uh-muh	but
lakin	luh-kin	however
yoxsa	yuhk-suh	or
və ya	vuh yuh	or
nəhayət ki	nuh-huh-yet kee	finally
çünki	choon-kee	because

Let's look at some examples to see how coordinating conjunctions are used:

• Kitab oxumaq və yazı yazmaq maraqlıdır. (Reading books and writing essays are interesting.)
• Men işləmək istəyirəm, amma qəparsızlıqdan şikayət edərəm. (I want to work, but I complain about boredom.)
• Ali imtahanı uğurla keçdi, lakin mən keçmədim. (Ali passed the exam successfully, however, I failed.)

Subordinating Conjunctions

Subordinating conjunctions are used to join subordinate clauses to independent clauses. They are also known as Tərkib Birləşdiriciləri ("composition conjunctions") and there are many of them in North Azerbaijani:

North Azerbaijani	Pronunciation	English
ki	kee	that, which
çünki	choon-kee	because
hansı ki	huhn-suh kee	whatever
lakin	luh-kin	however
nə vaxt ki	nuh vuhkht kee	whenever
nəinki	nuh-een-kee	that, which

Let's look at some examples to see how subordinating conjunctions are used:

• Mən anlamıram, hansı ki kitab oxumalı olduğumu. (I don't understand which book I should read.)
• Sən buradan çıx, çünki mənimlə oynamıyacaqsan. (You leave because you won't play with me.)
• Qapı açıb gəl, nə vaxt ki çıxmaq istəsən. (Come and go as you please.)

Correlative Conjunctions

Correlative conjunctions are pairs of conjunctions that work together to join elements in a sentence. They are also known as Qayda Birləşdiriciləri ("rule conjunctions") and there are three pairs of them in North Azerbaijani:

North Azerbaijani	Pronunciation	English
ya...ya	yuh...yuh	either...or
hem...hem	hehm...hehm	both...and
neçə...neçə	neh-jeh...neh-jeh	neither...nor

Let's look at some examples to see how correlative conjunctions are used:

• Men ya evdə qalacağam, ya hava dəyişmədiyi şəkildə çıxıram. (Either I'll stay at home or I'll go out unless the weather is bad.)
• Sən hansı yazıları oxuyursan, mən hem roman, hem şeir oxuyuram. (You read whatever writings you want, I read both novels and poetry.)
• O, anbardan neçə kilo elma alacaq, neçə kilo alma alacaq. (He won't buy either kilos of apples and neither kilos of pears from the market.)
