The Conjunction but

The Conjunction  لکنَّ is usually followed by a noun or a pronoun suffix in the accusative case. On the other hand,  لکنْ tolerates the use of verbs after it. Both are used to make compound sentences and mean "but."

لا أحبُّ القهوةَ لکنْ أحِبُّ الحليبَ.

I don’t like coffee but I like milk.

البرنامجُ جميلٌ لکنـَّهُ طويلٌ.


The program is beautiful but it is long.
