EN: so; that's why; therefore
This is the ultimate "chismis" connector. "Umuulan kasi, KAYA pala basang-basa siya pagdating." (It was raining, THAT'S WHY he was soaking wet when he arrived.) It's the word that links the 'why' to the 'what happened'. The 'therefore' in the grand equation of life's daily dramas.
It introduces a result or consequence. Often starts a clause.
