Just as 因为(yīnwèi) can be used to explain causes, 所以(suǒyǐ) can be used to explain results. This is equivalent to "so" in English.

Some examples:

  • 汉字 太 难 了,所以 我 不 想 学。Chinese characters are too hard, so I don't want to study them.
  • 他 喝 了 几 瓶 啤酒,所以 他 比较 高兴。He drank a few bottles of beer, so he's happier.
  • 我 生病 了,所以 不 能 上课。I'm sick,so I can't come to class.
