Conjunctions in Estonian

In grammar, a conjunction is a part of speech that connects words, phrases, or clauses. 

Coordinating conjunctions

Coordinating conjunctions join or coordinate two or more items (such as words, main clauses, or sentences) of equal syntactic importance. Coordinating conjunctions generally connect sentence elements of the same grammatical class. Examples: nouns with nouns, adverbs with adverbs, phrases with phrases and clauses with clauses.

There are four kinds on coordinating conjunctions.
