Dan means "and" in English.

Salience: The word "dan" appears four times in the Target Text.

Usage: Observe that in the graphic above from the Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, the name of the Faculty of Science and Technology, when stated in Malay, is "Fakulti Sains dan Technology." The word "dan" serves approximately the same linguistic purpose in Malay that the word "and" serves in English.
