Conjunctions link two similar words or phrases together into a single phrase. English conjunctions include and, or, "but." In Gaelic the conjunctions include:
- 'ach, "but"
- agus or 's or 'is, "and"
- "no" (pronounced [njo], "or"
Pronoun coordination
When pronouns are coordinated, emphatic or reflexive forms of pronouns are used rather than plain forms.
Chunnaic mi fhin agus thu fhèin Iain. see.pst 1sg self and 2sg self Iain 'I and you saw Iain.'
Chunnaic mise agus thusa Iain. see.pst 1sg.emph and 2sg.emph Iain 'I and you saw Iain.'
*Chunnaic mi agus thu Iain. see.pst 1sg and 2sg Iain 'I and you saw Iain.'
