How it's used

Functions as a logical connector to signal a consequence or a conclusion based on the previous statement. It is extremely versatile and often appears at the start of a clause to bridge the gap between a condition and its result. Native speakers frequently use it to soften the tone of a decision or to show that a conclusion is simply the logical outcome of the situation.

Avoid using it as a direct translation for the English word 'then' when referring to time, such as 'I went to the store then home'. Use 之後 or 跟住 instead for temporal sequences.
