Understanding Shqip Complex Sentences
A complex sentence in Shqip is a sentence that combines one main idea with one or more additional ideas. These additional ideas are often connected by words like 'because', 'if', 'when', and 'although'.
Important Points
- Main Clause: The main idea of the sentence. It can stand alone.
- Subordinate Clause: Adds extra information to the main idea. It cannot stand alone.
- Conjunctions: Words that connect clauses, like 'sepse' (because), 'kur' (when), 'nëse' (if), and 'ndonëse' (although).
Building Complex Sentences
To build a complex sentence in Shqip, start with a main clause. Then, add a subordinate clause using a conjunction. Remember, the subordinate clause gives more details but can't be a sentence by itself.
Examples
- Unë lexoj librin kur kam kohë.
- Ai është i lumtur sepse fitoi lojën.
- Ne do të shkojmë në park nëse nuk bie shi.
Conjunctions are important because they help link the main and subordinate clauses. Different conjunctions give different meanings to the sentence.
Important Points
- 'sepse' means 'because' and shows a reason.
- 'kur' means 'when' and shows time.
- 'nëse' means 'if' and shows a condition.
- 'ndonëse' means 'although' and shows contrast.
Examples
- Ai studion shumë sepse dëshiron të ketë nota të mira.
- Ne do të luajmë jashtë kur të mbarojmë detyrat.
- Ajo do të vijë në festë nëse është e lirë.
