Definition
  1. Adverb:
    • Therefore, so, consequently: "vì thế" is a conjunction used to indicate that the statement which follows is a result or logical consequence of the statement that came before it.
Usage
  • "Vì thế" is used to connect two clauses or sentences. It always follows the cause or reason and introduces the effect or result.
  • It is typically placed at the beginning of the second clause or sentence.
  • It is a formal and common word used in both written and spoken Vietnamese.
Usage Examples

  • Connecting two clauses in one sentence:

    • Trời mưa to, vì thế chúng tôi ở nhà. (It rained heavily, so we stayed home.)
    • Anh ấy không học bài, vì thế anh ấy bị điểm kém. (He didn't study, therefore he got a bad grade.)

  • Connecting two separate sentences:

    • Xe của tôi bị hỏng. Vì thế, tôi đã đi taxi. (My car broke down. Therefore, I took a taxi.)
    • Cô ấy rất thông minh và chăm chỉ. Vì thế, cô ấy luôn đạt thành tích cao. (She is very intelligent and hardworking. Consequently, she always achieves high results.)
Advanced Usage
  • "Chính vì thế": For this very reason, precisely because of that.
    • Anh ấy đã giúp đỡ tôi rất nhiều. Chính vì thế, tôi rất biết ơn anh. (He helped me a lot. For this very reason, I am very grateful to him.)
  • "Do đó" / "Bởi vậy": These are synonyms and can often be used interchangeably with "vì thế" in many contexts, though slight nuances in formality may exist.
Variants and Related Words
  • Do đó (adv): Therefore, hence. A very close synonym.
  • Bởi vậy (adv): Therefore, that's why. Slightly more conversational.
  • Cho nên (conj): So, therefore. Often used similarly but can imply a slightly stronger intended consequence.
  • Thành ra (conj): So, as a result. More colloquial.
Synonyms
  • Do đó: Therefore.
  • Bởi vậy: That's why.
  • Cho nên: So, therefore.
  • Thế nên: So, therefore.
  • Nên: So (more casual and often used in spoken language).
Related Phrases
  • Vì... nên...: Because... so... (This is a correlative conjunction pair used to explicitly state cause and effect within a single sentence structure).
    • Vì trời mưa nên chúng tôi ở nhà. (Because it rained, we stayed home.)
Notes
  • "Vì thế" is a single, fixed phrase. Do not confuse it with the separate words "vì" (because) and "thế" (that, thus) when used independently.
  • It functions similarly to "therefore" or "thus" in English, providing a logical link between ideas.
