اتنا ... کہ

A Degree Leading to a Result

Level 5

So much / so intense → that this results.

How It Works

This construction presents a degree as leading to a result. اتنا can modify a manner or appear with a masculine singular item; اتنی and اتنے fit relevant feminine or masculine plural agreement.

The clause after کہ gives the outcome or extent. It is a full clause with its own subject and verb.

Keep this result use separate from pointing to an amount with اتنا on its own. The paired construction tells us what that amount or intensity leads to.

  1. چائے اتنی گرم تھی کہ میں فوراً نہ پی سکا۔

    The tea was so hot that I could not drink it straight away.

    اتنی follows feminine چائے.

  2. وہ اتنا آہستہ بول رہا تھا کہ بات سنائی نہیں دے رہی تھی۔

    He was speaking so softly that we could not hear what he was saying.

    اتنا modifies the manner of speaking.

  3. اتنے لوگ آ گئے کہ کمرے میں جگہ کم پڑ گئی۔

    So many people arrived that there was not enough room.

    اتنے agrees with masculine plural لوگ.

  4. راستہ اتنا لمبا تھا کہ ہم نے درمیان میں آرام کیا۔

    The route was so long that we rested along the way.

    The length is linked to the decision to rest.
