TL;DR ๐Ÿฆ„
  • ๐Ÿ”— ์›์ธ = cause; ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ = result โ€” the two anchors of any cause-and-effect sentence
  • ๐Ÿ’› ๋•๋ถ„์— = thanks to (positive only!); ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ์ธ์ง€ = maybe that's why โ€” softer and more conversational
  • ๐Ÿค” ์ด์œ  = reason โ€” the word when you explain the "why" explicitly

๐ŸŒˆ The Big Picture

Korean cause-and-effect vocabulary is more varied than the single English "because." ๋•๋ถ„์— signals gratitude for a positive cause. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ์ธ์ง€ hedges โ€” "maybe that's why." ์ด์œ  names the reason directly. ์›์ธ diagnoses the root cause. And ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ shows where it all leads.
Together they give you the full toolkit for explaining why things happen in natural Korean.

๐ŸŽจ The Core Cause & Effect Family

1. ์›์ธ โ€” cause, root cause ๐Ÿ”
์›์ธ์„ ์ฐพ๋‹ค = to find the cause. ์›์ธ์ด ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? = What's the cause? ์›์ธ์„ ํŒŒ์•…ํ•˜๋‹ค = to identify the cause. More formal/analytical than ์ด์œ  โ€” used for problems, illnesses, accidents.
2. ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ โ€” result, outcome ๐Ÿ“Š
๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ์ข‹๋‹ค/๋‚˜์˜๋‹ค = the result is good/bad. ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ณด๋‹ค = to see the result. ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ ์œผ๋กœ = as a result, ultimately. Pairs naturally with ๋…ธ๋ ฅ (effort) and ์›์ธ.
3. ๋•๋ถ„์— โ€” thanks to, because of (positive) ๐Ÿ’›
Pattern: N ๋•๋ถ„์— or V-ใ„ด/์€ ๋•๋ถ„์—. ์„ ์ƒ๋‹˜ ๋•๋ถ„์— ํ•ฉ๊ฒฉํ–ˆ์–ด์š” = Thanks to my teacher I passed. โš ๏ธ ONLY for positive results. Using ๋•๋ถ„์— for negative outcomes sounds wrong.
4. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ์ธ์ง€ โ€” maybe that's why, perhaps because of that ๐Ÿค”
A softer cause-connector implying the speaker isn't 100% sure. ์–ด์ œ ๋น„๊ฐ€ ์™”์–ด์š”. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ์ธ์ง€ ์˜ค๋Š˜ ๊ณต๊ธฐ๊ฐ€ ๋ง‘์•„์š” = It rained yesterday. Maybe that's why the air is clear today. More conversational than ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ.
5. ์ด์œ  โ€” reason, rationale ๐Ÿ’ญ
์ด์œ ๊ฐ€ ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? = What's the reason? ์ด์œ ๋ฅผ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•˜๋‹ค = to explain the reason. ์ด์œ  ์—†์ด = without reason. More everyday than ์›์ธ โ€” used for personal decisions and explanations.
