Connective, disjunctive and adversative conjunctions

Connective conjunctions join members or sentences of equal standing by adding them together. This group includes the pure conjunctions va, hamda; “bilan”, which came from the postpositions; and -u (-yu), -da and “ham”, which came from the particles. When “ham” is a conjunction, it is usually repeated after each part: Olma ham, uzum ham pishdi (Both the apples and the grapes ripened). -u, -yu, -da are written attached to the preceding word with a hyphen: kecha-yu kunduz (night and day), aytdi-yu ketdi (said it and left), o‘tirdi-da yozdi (sat down and wrote). After a word ending in a consonant -u is used, after a vowel -yu: tun-u kun (night and day), bola-yu katta (children and adults).
