Conjunction
There are two lessons left on Lein's Lesson.
Today, I'll teach you the conjunctions of Arka.
Like "and" and "or"?
Yup, and "and" is "o" in Arka.
We often use "/" instead of "o" in the section of etymology in the dictionary.
Like, you know, "xion/lein" for "Shion and Lein."
On the other hand, "or" is "az."
"miik az lisik" means "an apple or an orange."
I see. Seems "and" and "or" are a conjunction in Arka.
Uh... "but" and "then" are also a conjunction, right?
"But" and "then" are called independences (reit) in Arka, not conjunctions.
"But" is "tal" and "and " or "then" are "yan" and "see" and so on. They all are independences, but you don't have to care about them right now.
Well, what do you say when you want to mean "Shion came. But Lein didn't come"?
"To come" is "luna," right?
You have to attach "-at" to the verb in order to make a past tense, so it's "lunaat."
Close! Attach "-t" instead of "-at" because "luna" ends up with a vowel.
Now I remember. Then "lunat" it is.
You have to put "en" in front of the verb to make a negative sentence."en lunat" means "didn't go."
"xion lunat. tal lein en lunat," then?
Yes! you're right!
