त्यामुळे

Because of That

Level 3Sounds Like tyāmuḷē

त्यामुळे can open a new sentence, and it sounds more careful than म्हणून.

How It Works

Use त्यामुळे when the result follows clearly from what you just said.

त्यामुळे can stand after a comma or after a full stop. Starting a new sentence with it is common in writing and in careful speech.

The result can have any tense, and each clause keeps its own agreement. A woman says मी उशिरा पोहोचले, and a man says मी उशिरा उठलो.

म्हणून is the everyday word and usually stays between the two clauses. त्यामुळे is a little more formal and can start a sentence of its own.

Write त्यामुळे as one word. It is made from त्या (that) and -मुळे (because of).

त्यामुळे links the rain to the closed school.
