Wistanian coordinating particles come in three types: normal coordination, weak coordination, and contrastive coordination. | |||
Normal coordination is similar to the English "and", however each item in the list is proceeded by the word '''''ya'''''. | |||
'''ya dari ya lari dajyi.''' | |||
'''ya''' dari '''ya''' lari daji-i. | |||
'''CO''' boy '''CO''' girl hide-TEL. | |||
"The boy and the girl hid." | |||
Weak coordination refers to a co-actor in the sentence while keeping the focus on a specific item of the list, which is usually featured at the beginning of the list and without a particle. It is denoted with the word '''nuz'''. | |||
'''dari nuz lari dajyi.''' | |||
dari nuz lari daji-i. | |||
boy WCO girl hide-TEL. | |||
"The boy hid with the girl." | |||
Contrastive coordination is equivalent to the English "but", | |||
