Lesson 30: Temporal, Conditional, and Concessive Conjunctions
This lesson introduces conjunctions that express conditions and timing: "if," "while," "until," "when," and "although." It also covers several expressions that round out your ability to handle concession, universal conditions, and gradual progression. These add to the basic conjunctions (pea, ka/kae, ʻo, he), connecting whole clauses to express how two events relate to each other.
The word kapau means "if." It introduces a condition: something that may or may not happen.
