\"Conjunctions<\/p>\n

Contrasting conjunctives<\/h2>\n

Contrasting conjunctives express a contrast, an impediment. The most used conjunctions are:<\/p>\n

\u53ef\u662f (k\u011bsh\u00ec) \u201cbut, nevertheless\u201d\uff0c\u53ef (k\u011b) \u201cbut, yet\u201d\uff0c\u4e0d\u8fc7 (bugu\u00f2) \u201cbut, however\u201d\uff0c\u4f46\u662f (d\u00e0nsh\u00ec) \u201cbut, nevertheless\u201d\uff0c\u4f46 (d\u00e0n) \u201cbut, yet\u201d\uff0c\u4e0d\u7136 (b\u00f9r\u00e1n) \u201cotherwise\u201d\uff0c\u8981\u4e0d\u7136 (y\u00e0obur\u00e1n) \u201celse\u201d\uff0c\u5426\u5219 (f\u01d2uz\u00e9) \u201cotherwise\u201d.
\nLet’s see a few examples: <\/p>\n

\u4ed6\u60f3\u5403\u62ab\u8428\uff0c\u4f46\u662f\u8981\u51cf\u80a5\u3002

\nMy mom wants to sleep but has to go to work.<\/p>\n

\nThe house we rented is small but cheap.<\/p>\n

With contrasting conjunctives there are also the following combinations translatable with \u201calthough\u2026 nevertheless\u2026\u201d:<\/p>\n

\u867d\u7136 (su\u012br\u00e1n)\u2026,\u53ef\u662f (k\u011bsh\u00ec);
\n\u867d\u7136(su\u012br\u00e1n)\u2026, \u4f46\u662f (d\u00e0nsh\u00ec);
\n\u867d\u7136 (su\u012br\u00e1n)\u2026,\u4e0d\u8fc7 (bugu\u00f2).<\/p>\n

Important: when the subject of both phrases is the same, \u867d\u7136 comes before the subject, such as in these examples: <\/p>\n

\u867d\u7136\u4ed6\u662f\u65e5\u672c\u4eba\uff0c\u53ef\u662f\u8bf4\u4e2d\u6587\u8bf4\u5f97\u975e\u5e38\u6d41\u5229\u3002

\nAlthough he has a lot of money, she nevertheless doesn’t want to marry him.<\/p>\n

Important: when the subjects of both phrases are the same but the subject of the second phrase is omitted, \u867d\u7136 comes right after the subject of the first phrase. Here’s an example: <\/p>\n

\u6211\u5988\u5988\u867d\u7136\u5df2\u7ecf\u4e94\u5341\u5c81\u4e86\u53ef\u662f\u8fd8\u662f\u975e\u5e38\u6f02\u4eae\u3002
\nW\u01d2 m\u0101ma su\u012br\u00e1n y\u01d0jing w\u01d4sh\u00ed su\u00ecle k\u011bsh\u00ec h\u00e1ishi f\u0113ich\u00e1ng pi\u00e0oliang.
\nAlthough my mom is already fifty, she still remains very beautiful.<\/p>\n

Another contrasting combination is represented by \u4e0d\u4f46 (b\u00f9d\u00e0n) \u2026 \u53cd\u800c (f\u01cen’\u00e9r) \u201cnot only\u2026, to the contrary\u2026\u201d.<\/p>\n

Conjunctions indicating an addition<\/h2>\n

Important: in phrases that express a cause and effect, the effect can be expressed before the cause. In the first syntagm conjunctions can be left out, while the second syntagm is introduced by \u56e0\u4e3a, often preceded by \u662f.<\/p>\n
