EN: because of this, therefore, hence
This is the verbal equivalent of the 'therefore' (∴) symbol in math. It's the pivot point in an argument. 'The project is due tomorrow, and you haven't started. Dahil dito, you're not going out tonight.' It’s the phrase that connects the problem to the inevitable, often unpleasant, consequence. It's the 'and that's why...' of Tagalog.
Combination of 'dahil' (because) and 'dito' (here).
A common transitional phrase in formal writing and speech to show cause and effect.
