so that really

Question

 

فروشنده فرق بین مبل دو نفره و کاناپه را توضیح میدهد:

 

Woman: Oh, what's the difference between a love seat and a sofa? 

Seller: Oh, as you can see there, there is only two cushions in the love

seat where there is three in the sofa, so that really you can only

put two people in a love seat, but you can get three or four 

people in a sofa.

“So that” tells us for what purpose something is done.  What was the intention or plan?  In contrast, “so” tells us the effect.  It tells us what happened as a result.

He speaks very little English, so I talked to him through an interpreter.

There was no answer and so I asked again.

My suitcase had been damaged, so that the lid would not close.

 

با توجه این توضیح، so that در این جمله به چه معنی است؟

خیلی خوب

چرا "بنابراین" و "در نتیجه" نه؟

در نتیجه معادل فارسی به همین دلیل یا به همین خاطر هست و بنابراین هم معادل از این رو. درواقع فرقی نمیکنه. میشه گفت: «چون / به خاطر اینکه چمدونم ضربه خورده بود / خراب شده بود، درش بسته نمیشه»؛ یا: «چمدونم ضربه خورده بود / خراب شده بود، در نتیجه / بنابراین / به همین خاطر درش بسته نمیشه».

1:

It's explanatory.

It's not a good idea to assume a word or a phrase has an exact synonym in English; there may well not be one. However, in this case, "so that" means "which means".

2:

It indicates result.

The expression so that really you can only put two people in a love seat, but you can get three or four people in a sofa is a result adjunct expressing the result of there being two different numbers of cushions.

Note that you could replace so that with with the result that.

3:

so that = that is to say that or in order that
