The German word for ‘so’ is “so” as well. It’s spelled and pronounced the same way but is used in slightly different contexts based on German grammar and usage.

**Tips to remember:**
– Associate the English “so” with the German “so” due to their identical spelling.
– Think of the common usage in German, such as “so groß” (“so big”) or “so schnell” (“so fast”), to reinforce its similarity to English usage.

**Explanations:**
– In German, “so” can be used to compare, meaning “as” or “such.”
– It can express a condition or manner, similar to the English “so.”
– “So” can be part of conjunctions like “sodass” (so that) to indicate a consequence.

**Other words that mean the same thing:**
Depending on the context, some synonyms or related expressions could include:
– “daher” or “deswegen” (therefore),
– “somit” (thus),
– “also” (so, or a casual ‘well’ at the beginning of a sentence),
– “folglich” (consequently).

**Alternate meanings like slang:**
– “So?” can be a casual and sometimes impolite way of saying, “What about it?” or “So what?” in German, much like in English.
– “So so” is also used to express a nonchalant or indifferent attitude towards a situation.

**Examples of sentences that use it:**
– “So denke ich darüber.” (That’s what I think about it.)
– “Mach es so, wie ich es dir gesagt habe.” (Do it the way I told you.)
– “So, und jetzt?” (So, what now?)
– “Du siehst heute so müde aus.” (You look so tired today.)
– “So so, das hast du also gemacht!” (I see, so that’s what you’ve done!)

Remember to look at the context when encountering “so” to determine its exact meaning and function within a German sentence.
