почему
Russian
Etymology
Univerbation of the preposition по (po, “according to”) + чему́ (čemú), dative singular of что (što).
Usage notes
- For the answer, directly coordinate only with потому́ что (potomú što) as well as with the solitary responses потому́ (potomú) and поэ́тому (poétomu). The literary и́бо (íbo) also fulfills a close role to потому́ что (potomú što).
