also

so

Dieses Wort benutzt man, wenn man etwas zusammenfasst oder eine Folge ausdrückt, ähnlich wie 'deshalb' oder 'daher'.

The German word "also" is an adverb meaning "thus," "therefore," or "so." It is used to indicate a conclusion or result, similar to how "therefore" is used in English.

Words it's made of:

  • "als" – as, than (a comparative conjunction)
  • The suffix "-so" is not separate here; "also" functions as a whole adverb.

Similar words:

  • deshalb (therefore)
  • daher (hence)
  • folglich (consequently)

Difference:

  • "also" tends to be used more conversationally and introduces conclusions or inferences.
  • "deshalb," "daher," and "folglich" are slightly more formal and often found in written or formal contexts to indicate cause and effect.
