Korean vocabulary - theme "Connectors"

10 Korean words for the theme "Connectors" with Hindi meanings, pronunciation and examples. A useful set for beginners and for TOPIK preparation.

Connectors bring relief to your sentences: joining, opposing, explaining and concluding. They are often what separates a TOPIK I answer from a TOPIK II piece of work.

What this theme covers

Addition: and, besides, likewise, on the other hand.
Opposition: but, however, nevertheless, on the contrary.
Cause and consequence: because, so, therefore, as a result.
Organising discourse: first, then, finally, in conclusion.

Points not to mix up

“on the contrary” (contrast between two things) and “however” (an unexpected contrast) are not interchangeable.
“since” is more colloquial than “because” and does not answer only the question “why?”.
“so” (consequence) does not play the same role as “although” (concession).

TOPIK tip

In TOPIK II, the variety of connectors weighs heavily on the expression mark: avoid repeating “but” and “so” endlessly.
