Usage notes
[edit]- If there are more than two co-functioning elements, kaj is normally inserted between the penultimate and the last. But, for particular emphasis, it is repeated before each element:
- Kaj mia fratino kaj mia amiko loĝas eksterlande.
- Both my sister and my friend live abroad.
- Mi amas kaj mian patrinon kaj patron.
- I love both my mother and father.
- When the same particle or adverb is repeated on each side of kaj, the word in question acquires a nuance of continuation or intensification:
- La hundo bojis kaj bojis.
- The dog was barking and barking.
