because, although, while, so — the glue of B1

Reason: ker (because) — Ostal sem doma, ker sem bolan. Contrast: čeprav (although) — Čeprav dežuje, gremo ven. Time-overlap: medtem ko (while) — Medtem ko kuham, ti počivaš. Result: zato (so, therefore) — Deževalo je, zato sem ostal doma. Purpose: da bi (in order to) — Učim se, da bi uspel. Concession: kljub temu da (despite the fact that). And the plain time word ko (when). Each subordinate clause is set off by a comma.
