Review Summary

常见错误
Using 'သို့သော်လည်း' as a simple connector between clauses is less formal than using the suffix '-သော်လည်း'.
Missing the comma after the connector makes the sentence hard to read.
Using 'သို့မဟုတ်' (or) when you mean 'and' (နှင့်) is a common confusion.

ဒါပေမဲ့ is more common for casual chatting.သို့သော် is shorter and used more in literature or news headlines.ထို့ကြောင့် is a conjunction that must appear at the beginning of the result clause or sentence.သောကြောင့် is used to join two clauses into one single sentence (e.g., 'Because it rained, I stayed home'). ထို့ကြောင့် starts a brand new sentence (e.g., 'It rained. Therefore, I stayed home').
