Result
What happens or follows from this?
의미
A result is what happens or what we conclude because of another situation. It can be something that happened, an expected outcome, or a conclusion. Languages may use special linking words or sentence patterns, while some have no separate result marker and rely on context. Cause looks back to what explains a situation, while Result points to what follows from it.

모국어에서는
Korean can connect a cause to its result with -아/어서, or introduce a following statement with 그래서, meaning 'so.' 그래서 can lead to an outcome or a conclusion based on what was said. A phrase with 너무 and -아/어서 often shows that a quality's degree leads to a result.
버스를 놓쳤어요. 그래서 택시를 탔어요. (Beoseureul nochyeosseoyo. Geuraeseo taeksireul tasseoyo.)
그래서 introduces the action that followed from missing the bus.
가방이 너무 무거워서 혼자 들 수 없어요. (Gabangi neomu mugeowoseo honja deul su eopseoyo.)
The degree of heaviness explains the resulting inability.
