Connection of words (nouns, adjectives...)
Nouns and adjectives are connected by using h, and, as a suffix of the preceeding noun
Tipalih nasriki ruknokn� "The boy is young and handsome"
Ruknokn�wa kofom�llhoh boxkam�llho pakmes "The boy put on his shoes and socks"
Verbs also are connected by using h, and, as a suffix of the preceeding verb
Axwa resoshih kilsaeshih fsatulmoshi "bakas, muwa?" "He looked at me and smiled and asked me 'how are you doing?'"
Axowa palesh bilpaskosaxh fosmes "She came and talked to him and left"
Nouns, adjectives and verbs are contrasted by using ih, or, as a standing alone word
Tog�wa ih fog�wa neti�ho goas "The mother or the father will bring the son"
Buolmi hiwa bok�al ih xaas ih telebid�ho pas "When I am at home either I read or watch TV"
Another connection for nouns and verbs is lo...lo, not...nor
Panebux�wa lo safemi lo birimi "This car is not fast nor comfortable"
Axillwa lo mosmi lo marfsoli xatos "They did not arrive late nor early"
In Chipilak, as in English, clauses (sentences) can be connected by the use of
words like, therefore, furthermore, or however, but and others.
Asti /, therefore, so
Hiwa elpemosaxill asti axill pales akfasos "I invited them therefore, I expect them to come"
Ruknokn�wa ruhni bolkomi asti misres "The boy was tired so he fall asleep"
Omarok /, besides, furthermore
Xipas omarok psei "It is raining, besides, is cold"
akmumosma nirfs�llwa, ruka�ho pekemos omarok rafasm�ho akdefes "The students visited the museum, furthermore, they wrote a report"
Fasi /, however, but
Hiwa elpemosaxill fasi axill lipales "I invited them however, they did not come"
Axwa tipali, fasi elmaxeti "He is young but wise"
