därför att

== Swedish == === Conjunction === därför att (subordinating conjunction) for the reason that ...; because, since, as ==== Usage notes ==== Compare: Eftersom de tror vi är onda andar (så) skjuter de på oss De skjuter på oss därför att de tror vi är onda andar Similar to how "For the reason that they think we're evil spirits, they're shooting at us" is unusual phrasing in English, "eftersom" sounds more natural in the first sentence. In the second sentence, both "därför att" and "eftersom" sound natural. "Därför att" can more or less always be replaced with "eftersom" or "för att". Compared to "eftersom" and "för att," "därför att" has a flavor of being somewhat more formal, strict, and indicating that the line of argument needed is not necessarily trivial (somewhat similar to "for the reason that ...") ==== See also ==== eftersom för att
