So in Korean 🇰🇷

그래서 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of 그래 as "that" or "so" and 서 as a connector that means “because of that” – together, they help link a cause to its effect.
• Visualize a chain reaction: one action happens, then “그래서” indicates the resulting effect.

Explanations:
• 그래서 means “so” or “therefore” and is used to show cause and effect between two sentences.
• It connects a statement with its consequence in a natural, conversational way.

Synonyms and Similar Expressions:
• 그러므로 (geureomuro) – a slightly more formal version.
• 그래서 also carries the nuance of “as a result” in everyday conversation.

Alternate Meanings:
• While 그래서 itself doesn’t have a distinct slang meaning, the base form 그래 can sometimes be used colloquially to mean “okay” or “alright” in casual speech.

Example Sentences:
• 나는 늦게 일어났어. 그래서 오늘 수업에 지각했어.
(Romanized: Naneun neutge ireonasseo. Geuraeseo oneul sueobe jigakhesseo.)
Translation: I woke up late, so I was late for class today.

• 비가 많이 왔어. 그래서 길이 미끄러워졌어.
(Romanized: Biga mani wasseo. Geuraeseo gili miggeuroyeosseo.)
Translation: It rained a lot, so the roads became slippery.
