How to use 结论
结论 is mostly used as a noun for the result you reach after thinking, research, or discussion. It often goes with verbs like 得出 (déchū, to reach) or 下 (xià, to draw). Example: 我们得出了一个结论。(Wǒmen déchū le yí gè jiélùn.) We reached a conclusion.
结 (jié) means to tie a knot and 论 (lùn) means to discuss. When you tie up the discussion into a final knot, you have a 结论 (jiélùn), a conclusion.
Common mistake: Learners often mix up 结论 with 结果 (jiéguǒ). 结果 is the outcome of an event, while 结论 is a judgment you arrive at by reasoning. Also note that 结 here is jié with a second tone, not jiē.
