सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In English academic and professional writing, there is a strong emphasis on 'objective' language. By saying 'This discussion has shown' instead of 'I have shown,' you make the argument feel more like a shared truth rather than just your personal opinion. This 'distancing' is a hallmark of high-level English discourse.
The 'That' Rule
Always follow this phrase with `that`. It makes your sentence flow perfectly into your main point.
Don't Overuse It
Only use this once in a piece of writing. If you use it twice, it loses its power and sounds repetitive.

What It Means
Think of this phrase as a 'TL;DR' for serious people. You have spent time explaining facts or ideas. Now, you want to bring them all together. It signals that the 'proof' part is over. You are now moving to the 'final result' part. It is like saying, 'Look at all this evidence we just saw.' It helps your listener or reader feel like they have learned something specific.
How To Use It
You usually put this at the start of a concluding sentence. It is almost always followed by the word that. For example: This discussion has shown that coffee is better than tea. You are making a claim based on what was just said. It acts like a bridge. It connects your long explanation to your final, punchy point. Use it to sound organized and authoritative.
When To Use It
This is a superstar phrase for academic essays. It belongs in your conclusion paragraph. You can also use it in a business meeting. If you have been debating a strategy for an hour, use this to end it. It works well in serious heart-to-heart talks too. If you and a friend are analyzing a problem, this phrase brings clarity. It makes you sound like you have a plan.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for small talk. If you are deciding which movie to watch, it is too heavy. Using it while ordering pizza will make you sound like a robot. Avoid it in quick texts unless you are being funny. It is a 'heavy' phrase. It needs a real 'discussion' to happen first. If the conversation was only two sentences long, this phrase feels silly.
Cultural Background
Western academic culture loves structure. We like to 'tell them what we told them.' This phrase is a key part of that tradition. It shows you value logic and evidence over just 'feeling' right. In English-speaking universities, using phrases like this shows you are a 'serious' thinker. It moves the focus away from 'I think' and onto the 'facts' of the discussion.
Common Variations
You might hear The evidence suggests or As we have seen. Some people say This analysis demonstrates. If you want to be slightly less formal, try So, we can see that. But if you want to sound like an expert, stick with This discussion has shown. It has a classic, timeless feel to it.
इस्तेमाल की जानकारी
This phrase is high-level (C1) and primarily used in formal writing or structured debates. Be careful not to use it in very brief or trivial exchanges, as it carries significant rhetorical weight.
The 'That' Rule
Always follow this phrase with `that`. It makes your sentence flow perfectly into your main point.
Don't Overuse It
Only use this once in a piece of writing. If you use it twice, it loses its power and sounds repetitive.
The 'Invisible' Author
In English academic culture, using 'This discussion' instead of 'I' makes you sound more objective and humble.
