itu berbeda. 'Dan' adalah kata penghubung dua hal memiliki persamaan. contoh: -Saya dan dia akan pergi berlibur -Kita akan bertemu setiap hari Rabu dan hari kamis 'Yang' adalah kata penghubung untuk menjelaskan subjek/objek contoh: -Saya lebih suka makanan yang manis -Polisi akan memberhentikan kendaraan yang melanggar rambu lalu lintas 'Nan' dan 'Yang' memiliki arti yang hampir sama. 'Nan' = 'Yang sangat' Kata 'Nan" sangat jarang dipakai dalam kata sehari-hari dan formal. Bahkan saya tidak mau menggunakan kata 'Nan' dalam percakapan. contoh: -Saya merindukan keluarga nan jauh disana -Indonesia memiliki pemandangan nan indah

"dan" is a conjunction, which can be translated as "and". I think the use of "dan" is exactly the same as the use of "and" in English, no differences. In case of "yang" and "nan", they have the same meaning, but the use of "nan" is restricted only for poem and its kind. If you use "nan" in a daily conversation, the people you talk to will squirm :). You MOSTLY find "yang" and "nan" in a relative clause and they act as relative pronouns, or what we know in English as "which", "that", "who", "whom", "whose". Good news for you, you use "yang" for all types of relative pronouns (how great is that!). Examples: - the book, WHICH I borrowed from him, was very interesting ==> buku itu, YANG saya pinjam darinya, sangat menarik. - the house THAT she built is large ==> rumah YANG dia bangun besar. - do you know the girl WHO is talking to Jeff? ==> apakah kamu mengenal wanita YANG sedang berbicara dengan Jeff?. - Sarah, WHOM I like, is very polite ==> Sarah, YANG saya sukai, sangat sopan. - Laura, WHOSE book I borrowed, is a teacher ==> Laura, YANG bukunya saya pinjam, adalah seorang guru. Well, the use of "yang" is quite extensive once you study it deeper. But when you cannot really differentiate it between "nan" and "dan", giving more explanation will only drive you insane. Feel free to ask if you find "yang" in different cases and I will try to explain it further.

4. "Yang" for Question example : Siapa yang kamu cintai ? (Who do you love) Apa yang dia cari ? (Whats is she looking for ?) Gadis yang mana kamu cintai ? (Which girl do you love) Saya punya mobil dua, BMW dan Jaguar. Yang mana yang kamu mau sebagai hadiah ulang tahun ? (I have two car, a BMW and A Jaguar. Which one do you want as your birthday present ?) 5. Yang as mean "other" example : Saya mempunyai dua mobil. Satu adalah BMW dan yang lainnya adalah Jaguar (I have two car. One is a BMW and the other (one) is a Jaguar). 6. "Yang" for ask example : Yang serius dong ! (Be seriously !) 7. Yang as "order" Yang pertama (The first) Yang kedua (The second) Yang terakhir (The Last) 8. Yang + adjective example : Yang cantik yang menarik (The beautiful an the charming) Yang berani yang berhasil (The brave and the successful) 3 The word "nan" The word 'nan" has the same meaning with yang but it is really poetic. Please don't use it in daily conversation, haha. You will find 'nan" in poem,novel, etc. I hope it can help you :)
