• Hyphenation: te‧hát

tehát

1. so

   5 perc tehát elég volt. - So five minutes were enough.

tehát

1. (somewhat formal) so, therefore, thus, hence

   5-en vagyunk, és 4 adag étel van, tehát valakinek nem jut. - There are 5 of us and 4 packs of food, so one person cannot get it.

While tehát, azaz, vagyis, and szóval are used more often for logically and essentially following implications (like rewording), úgyhogy usually indicates a consequence that does not follow that quickly or essentially (but e.g. through decision). Úgyhogy is also more informal in some cases.
