of that (previously mentioned thing)
Used after a noun to mean ‘of that thing’, talking about something that was just mentioned.
Tipar de utilizare:
[noun] or [part/feature] thereof
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners often confuse "thereof" with "therefore". "Thereof" means "of that" and refers back to a noun, while "therefore" means "for that reason". Another mistake is using "thereof" in everyday speech, where "of it" or "of that" is much more natural.
Sinonime
of it (Everyday phrase; sounds natural in normal speech, unlike the very formal 'thereof'.)
|
of that (Slightly more explicit and less formal; used in both speech and writing.)
