Questions and answers
Can I use "therefore" at the beginning of a sentence?
Yes, but it is common to place a short pause after it, just like in Arabic where وَبِالتَّالِي often follows a clause.
Is there a shorter Arabic equivalent?
In informal speech people sometimes say "ف" (fa) meaning "so", but in formal writing وَبِالتَّالِي is preferred.
