Usage Note

Sicché (also written sicchè) is a conjunction introducing a result or consequence clause, equivalent to 'so', 'and so', or 'therefore'. It is more literary than the everyday quindi or perciò and typically appears in written Italian or formal speech. Note the written accent on the final -é, which distinguishes it from other forms.

Examples

"Era tardi, sicché siamo tornati a casa."
