What this grammar point covers
In Turkish, 'basit bağlaçlı cümleler' are simple sentences connected by basic conjunctions, such as 've' (and), 'ama' (but), and 'veya' (or). These help you join two ideas or actions in one sentence.
When to use it
Use these conjunctions in Turkish to connect two similar ideas, show contrast, or offer a choice in one sentence. This helps make your sentences longer and more natural.

- ve (and)
- ama (but)
