About その結果

その結果(けっか) is a conjunction in Japanese that is used to highlight the result of something that has been previously said. The noun 結果(けっか) itself means 'result'. This expression translates as 'as a result of (A)', or 'resulting from (A)'.

その結果(けっか) will be used at the beginning of a new sentence, before a (B) phrase will highlight the result of (A).

その結果(けっか) may be used to highlight either positive, or negative results interchangeably. However, the (B) part of the sentence almost always focuses on a new 'situation' or 'condition' that has been created due to (A).

        それで vs その結果
        I’m strugging to understand the difference between those 2 grammar points.
        This example:
        無理むりをして走はしった。その結果けっか足あしがつった

        Why would it not be acceptable to say それで、足がつった in this situation?

        Sorry for the late response! In this case, それで is acceptable and sounds natural, but has a different nuance than we are looking for with this particular grammar point.

        それで is more explanatory and puts more emphasis on the cause rather than the result. It’s also a bit more conversational. You’ll often find this grammar point combined with んだ・んです (the explanatory sentence ending construction).
        「無理をして走った。それで、足がつった」 is more like: ‘I overdid it running. That’s why I got a leg cramp’.

        その結果 is a bit more objective and matter-of-fact. It puts more emphasis on the result than the cause. You’d also find this a bit more in writing as it sounds a more formal or literary.
        「無理をして走った。その結果足がつった」 works exactly how we translate it: ‘I overdid it running. As a result, I got a leg cramp’.

        Thanks, I already got a response ages ago Hy posting a new post; I wonder if commenting on those threads linked to the grammar point even makes sense
