Intro to Conjunctions

An introduction to Cherokee Conjunctions
In grammar, a conjunction (abbreviated CONJ or CNJ) is a part of speech that connects words, sentences, phrases, or clauses found in the English [Yigilisi] language.


This definition may overlap with that of other parts of speech, so what constitutes a "conjunction" must be defined for different languages.


In general, a conjunction is an invariable grammatical particle, and it may or may not stand between the items in a conjunction.


The definition may also be extended to idiomatic phrases that behave as a unit with the same function, e.g. "as well as", "provided that".

Here is a list of
