Значення

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.
