LINKING WORDS in Italian (E, MA, PERCHE', OPPURE, ...)

In this Italian lesson, I’ll show you some basic linking words, such as “and”, “or”, “because”, etc., and how to use them with real-life examples.

---------------------------- SUMMARY OF THE LESSON --------------------------
A conjunction is a word that connects two sentences and creates a logical relationship between the two. In Italian, you call them “CONGIUNZIONI”. The following are the most used both in written and spoken Italian:

To add Information: and (e), anche (also), inoltre (besides)
In negative sentences: né (nor), neanche/nemmeno (neither/not even)
To present options that are mutually exclusive: o/oppure (or), altrimenti (otherwise)
For contrasting ideas: ma (but), però (however)
To clarify or explain your ideas more in detail: infatti (indeed/as a matter of fact), cioè (that is/namely)
For creating a time relationship: quando (when), mentre (while), finchè (as long as/till)
To give explanations or telling the reason why you’re doing something: perché (because), siccome (since)
For introducing a thought or a statement: che (that)
To talk about exceptions or exclude something from your previous statement: tranne che + verb in the infinitive form (except)
To wrap up or get to a conclusion: dunque, quindi, allora (Therefore/so)
