Conjunctions are words that connect words or sentences. We use 'and' to connect two things, like 'I like ugali and sukuma wiki'. We use 'but' to show a difference, like 'I like playing football, but my sister likes netball'.

Viunganishi ni maneno yanayounganisha maneno au sentensi. Tunatumia 'na' kuunganisha mambo mawili, kama 'Napenda ugali na sukuma wiki'. Tunatumia 'lakini' kuonyesha tofauti, kama 'Napenda kucheza mpira wa miguu, lakini dada yangu anapenda mpira wa wavu'.
