Memory Hook
Think of 'setsuzoku' as 'sets' of words connected by a 'zoku' (sounds like 'zoku' in 'zookeeper'). 'Sets' + 'zoku' → 接続詞 (setsuzokushi, 'conjunction') connects words like a zookeeper connects animals.
Cultural Note
In Japanese grammar, 『接続詞』 (setsuzokushi, 'conjunction') are essential for linking sentences and ideas smoothly. Common examples include 『そして』 (soshite, 'and then'), 『しかし』 (shikashi, 'but'), and 『だから』 (dakara, 'so'). They are widely taught in schools to improve writing and speaking coherence.
