ゆえに

ゆえに is a formal, literary conjunction meaning 'therefore; as a result; consequently.' It follows a cause or reason and connects to the outcome or conclusion. It is commonly found in written Japanese—newspaper articles, essays, reports, and literary works—and in formal speech. It sounds quite stiff in everyday conversation, where だから or それゆえ is more natural. When you use ゆえに, you typically present a clear chain: a reason or circumstance, then the resulting effect.
