「即ち」の情報
In a similar way to つまり, 即ち is another grammar pattern in Japanese that is often translated as 'in other words'. It may also be translated as 'namely', or 'that is to say'. While 即ち is an adverb, it is often used as a conjunction, linking two sentences via some sort of reasoning.
- この人は私の妻のお母さんです。すなわち、義理の母です。This person is my wife's mother. In other words, my mother in law.
- 私はゲームしてお金を稼いでいます。すなわち、プロゲーマーです。I get paid for playing video games. In other words, I am a professional gamer.
Caution
The kanji used in 即ち simply means 'in concordance'. This shows that the nuance associated with 即ち is that of 'agreeance' or 'correspondence' to something else, while つまり is purely that of 'summarisation'.- この車はもう動かないです。すなわち廃車です。This car does not run anymore. In other words, it is a decommissioned car.
- 彼は僕の父の弟です。つまり叔父です。He is my father's brother. In other words, he is my uncle.

Is there a difference between 言わば and すなわち?

Hey and long time no see!Very good question!
They are quite similar, but if we look from a wider perspective 言わば is used to explain something by comparison or giving example. It is an actually conditional form of classic “to say” so it literally means “If I were to say…”. You can also think about it as an analog to English “speaking figuratively”. Often some metaphors follow It is very close to 例えば.即ち is simple rephrasing, “in other words”. It is closer to つまり and 要するに.
