cond

1. with

   Ti te vègnet cond mi. ― You come with me.

2. by

   Ti te vègnet cond la màchina. ― You come by car.

• Traditionally, it's written in two ways according to the context: it's normally spelled con, whilst cond (traditionally spelled cont in Western orthographies and con d' in Eastern orthographies) is used when followed by an article. Certain dialects, though, use the form cond also when followed by a word different than an article. Thus, modern orthographies tend to use always and only cond.
