donc

therefore

In French, 'donc' is commonly used to indicate a conclusion or result similar to the usage of 'therefore' in English. It can be employed to connect two ideas, suggesting that the second idea is a logical result of the first. For instance, one might say, 'Il pleut, donc nous restons à la maison' (It is raining, therefore we are staying at home) to show the cause-and-effect relationship.
