HSK 4 Connectors & compound sentences

既然 … 就 …

Since / now that with 既然…就…

Structure 既然 + given fact,就 + conclusion

既然…就… (jìrán… jiù…) starts from an ALREADY accepted fact to draw a logical conclusion: "since…, then…". 既然来了,就别走了 = "since you’re here, don’t leave". Unlike 因为 (which gives new cause), 既然 picks up something both already know. 就 opens the conclusion.

Examples

  • ránláilejiùbiézǒule

    Since you’re here, don’t leave.

  • ránshūfujiùhǎohǎoxiūxi

    Since you’re not well, get some good rest.

  • ránjuédìnglejiùbiéhòuhuǐ

    Now that you’ve decided, don’t regret it.

Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
