Compound-Complex Sentences in Nepali grammar (also known as संयुक्त-जटिल वाक्य in Nepali) are sentences composed of at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. These independent clauses can stand alone as separate sentences while the dependent clauses cannot. The independent clause becomes a main sentence with conjunctions connecting them, and the dependent clause usually begins with words like ‘जबकि, यद्यपि, जस्तै, जब’ etc.
