그래서 and other Korean causals…
안 녕! Currently I'm learning Korean causals; I have many doubts about it! I already know that there're several ways to express the same idea, e.g. “I can't go out because of the rain” can be expressed in these ways:
1 Root-verb + 아. 어. 여서 - 비가 내려서, 나갈 수 없어요.
2 Root-verb +기 때문에 - 비가 오기 때문에 (내리기때문에), 나갈 수 없어요.
3 Root-verb + 므로 - 비가 오므로 (내리므로), 나갈 수 없어요.
4 Root-verb +으니(까) /니(까) - 비가 오니(까), 나갈 수 없어요.
5 Phrase 1. 그래서phrase 2. - 비가내린다. 그래서 집에있어요. It's raining; therefore, I stay at home.
Are they different? Can I use these five patterns indistinctively? In addition, there's another one: 왜냐하면…root-verb + 기 때 문이다. How can I used this one? Is there any change in meaning or sense? Some examples, please! 감 사 합 니 다 !

Answer

아. 어. 여서 - be ~ ing


때문에 - because + verb or noun

~ 므로  - since it is raining (비가 오므로)

으니(까) /니(까) - 오니(까) - as  ex: as it is raining (비가 오니까..)

그래서 - so

비가내린다. 그래서 집에있어요. It's raining, so I stay at home. 

Therefore means "그러므로"


You can add me if you are a native English speaker. Otherwise I can't not accept all those friends here who like to add me in their friend list. However I do my best to answer a question related to Korea. I mean.. when I see it by chance. Take care
