Can someone give me some examples for
1) Obviously
2) Thus
3) Though

I don't get them, even though I translated them into my language... So If you give me some examples, I may see what they really mean and then I can try to build some sentences by my own.
Thanks.

I just toot a second look at the examples.
Is 'thus' similar to 'that's why' ?

1) The wind was strong. Thus, I felt very cold.
2) The wind has hot. Thus, I felt very hot.
3) He didn't work at all, and thus was fired.

1) The wind was strong. That's why I felt very cold.
2) The wind has (?? I guess it should be 'was') hot. That's why I felt very hot.
3) He didn

Haha yes I speak German.

But for example:
The wind was strong. Thus, I felt very cold.
-> Here you can't use 'also' in German: Der Wind war fest. Also hatte ich kalt. -> Doesn't make any sense. Here it would be: Deswegen hatte ich kalt. (or Darum hatte ich kalt)

But in other examples 'also' (folglich) is the right translation.. it depends, and I guess that's why it

Okay.
I think I get it.... Emotion: big smile

I was explained how to use 'thus'. Thus I know how to use it. RIGHT????

louiSTit depends
Right. Both languages have two concepts, but English can use the same word for both concepts.

thus ~ (also) 'in this way'
thus ~ (deswegen, darum) 'therefore', 'so', 'that's why'

I'm not sure I have the right German words lined up with the English ones, but you get the idea.
