seurauksellisesti

seurauksellisesti is a Finnish adverb that translates to "consequentially," "consequently," "subsequently," or "as a result" in English. It is derived from the noun "seuraus," meaning "consequence," "result," or "outcome." The adverb form emphasizes the cause-and-effect relationship between events or actions.

When used in a sentence, seurauksellisesti indicates that something happened or is happening because of a preceding event or action. It highlights the logical progression of events, where one outcome naturally leads to another. For example, "Hän ei opiskellut ahkerasti, seurauksellisesti hän ei menestynyt kokeessa" translates to "He did not study diligently; consequently, he did not succeed in the exam."

The term is often employed in formal writing, academic texts, and official documents to establish a clear connection between different parts of an argument or narrative. It helps to structure information and guide the reader through a sequence of related events or ideas. While it can sometimes be replaced by simpler conjunctions like "siksi" (therefore) or "joten" (so), seurauksellisesti carries a slightly more formal and emphatic tone, underscoring the significant or direct nature of the consequence. It is a useful word for expressing a deliberate and logical connection between cause and effect in Finnish.
