All the More Cozy: Consequences with "umso"
To express that a situation makes a result even more extreme—translating to "all the more" or "all the [adjective]-er"—use the connector umso.
When linking two independent clauses, the first clause sets the scene. The second clause begins with umso immediately followed by a comparative adjective or adverb. Because this phrase takes position 1, the conjugated verb comes right after it, followed by the subject.
| It was icy outside; the snowflakes danced all the more beautifully. | Es war draußen eisig, umso schöner tanzten die Schneeflocken. |
| The storm was merciless; we found the tea room all the more snug. | Der Sturm war gnadenlos, umso behaglicher fanden wir die Teestube. |
Using "umso mehr" and "umso besser"
To say you experienced something "all the more" or "all the better," use umso mehr or umso besser. The word order stays exactly the same.
| We tried to warm up; we enjoyed the log fire all the more. | Wir versuchten, uns aufzuwärmen, umso mehr genossen wir das Kaminfeuer. |
| The storm was wild; the tea tasted all the better to us. | Der Sturm war wild, umso besser schmeckte uns der Tee. |
