konjunktiosidonnaisina

Konjunktiosidonnaisina is a Finnish grammatical term that refers to clauses that are dependent on a conjunction. These clauses cannot stand alone as complete sentences and rely on the conjunction to connect them to a main clause. The conjunction establishes the relationship between the two clauses, such as cause and effect, time, condition, or concession.

Examples of conjunctions that introduce konjunktiosidonnaisina clauses include 'että' (that), 'jotta' (so that), 'koska' (because), 'vaikka' (although), 'jos' (if), and 'kun' (when). For instance, in the sentence "Hän sanoi, että hän tulee myöhässä" (He said that he will be late), the clause "että hän tulee myöhässä" is a konjunktiosidonnaisina clause, dependent on the conjunction 'että'. Without 'että', "hän tulee myöhässä" would not form a complete thought in relation to the preceding statement.

Understanding konjunktiosidonnaisina clauses is crucial for constructing complex sentences in Finnish and for correctly interpreting the relationships between different parts of a sentence. They are a fundamental element of Finnish syntax, contributing to the nuanced expression of ideas and the logical flow of communication. The presence and function of the conjunction are key to identifying and analyzing these dependent clauses.
