== Conjunctions == | == Conjunctions == | ||
Combining different phrases and sentences together uses conjunctions. In English, these are words and phrases | |||
like "and", "and not", "but". Brooding has similar words, but there are some distinctions that Brooding has that | |||
English doesn't. Different types of conjunctions are available depending on what is being joined: phrases or | |||
clauses. | |||
===Words and Phrases=== | |||
Phrases have a specific set of conjunctions: | |||
{| | |||
|- | |||
| '''''ee''''' || and | |||
|- | |||
| '''''khlau''''' || and not | |||
|- | |||
| '''''zro''''' || neither/nor | |||
|- | |||
| '''''o''''' || or | |||
|- | |||
| '''''haw''''' || either/or | |||
|} | |||
Examples: | |||
''sloon ee leed''<br /> | |||
you and I | |||
''lee khlau fosh''<br /> | |||
we and not him | |||
''fosh zro leed''<br /> | |||
neither he nor I | |||
''leed o sloon''<br /> | |||
me or you | |||
===Clauses=== | |||
Clauses have their own conjunctions. We'll look at them in groups. | |||
''daebuh'' - and (concurrent)<br /> | |||
''shenga'' - and (consecutive), and then | |||
The difference between the two above 'and's is a subtle one. In English, we use 'and' to string things that | |||
happen in order but are connected, such as "I asked and he answered". This is different than when they | |||
are happening at the same time (as in "I asked and I prayed"). Brooding has two different words for each | |||
case. ''daebuh'' means they are simultaneous, while ''shenga'' is more equivalent to "and then". Note that | |||
while ''shehnga'' is almost always used in reference to time and sequence. ''daebuh'', however, can be used in non-time-specific situations. | |||
Other clause conjunctions are: | |||
{| | |||
|- | |||
| '''''obroo''''' || or | |||
|- | |||
| '''''khlaeba''''' || and not | |||
|- | |||
| '''''zrege''''' || neither/nor | |||
|- | |||
| '''''hondra''''' || either/or | |||
|- | |||
| '''''oot''''' || but | |||
|} | |||
