Reasons, Results, and Conclusions
I've noticed a weirdly high number of words about cause, effect, reasons, results, endings, and so on in my vocabulary lists. As a way of remembering the differences between them I thought I'd gather them all in one place. Hopefully this is helpful to someone other than me. And if you know more German than I do and see a mistake, please correct me!
